The bigger the river the bigger the drought The bigger the mountain the bigger the dought The bigger the clouds the bigger the rain The bigger the town the bigger the pain Take it back to the small town Take it back where they know my name Take it back for a slow down Let's do it all over again Take it back one time where the sun still Shines even when your living under a cloud Take it back for a slow down Let's do it all over again If I could turn the clock I'd prolly change a couple things Decisions made when I was standing in the pouring rain Second guessing nearly everything that came my way I shun the blessings to fill my pain every day Grades failing till the day I graduated Filled my own mind with false pride infatuated Was being someone else living someone else's dream Feeling sorry for myself it's exactly what it seems Small Town where everybody knew my name not Everybody knew my shame not everybody knew my pain Self inflicted no theres no one else to blame So what is there to gain man I'm tryin to explain Slow down back to the humblest beginning walkin ining After ending remembering the beginning of that small town Where the folks stayed grinning Everybody wasn't winning Back in the beginning because The bigger the river the bigger the drought The bigger the mountain the bigger the dought The bigger the clouds the bigger the rain The bigger the town the bigger the pain Take it back to the small town Take it back where they know my name Take it back for a slow down Let's do it all over again Take it back one time where the sun still Shines even when your living under a cloud Take it back for a slow down Let's do it all over again That fast lane ain't for everybody not me Take it back and slow down y'all it got me A little taste of my in the bright lights I never forgot where I came from that ain't right Ive been round the world stood in all 50 states Hand in hand with my girl but never left that place My hometown Jerry's driving that angels car That ole pick and say blue raise sting boats boy Red green fields Southwest Paul boat Most of which are gone now cuz were getting old When time flys when your having a blast but Sometimes you gotta take that heavy foot off the gas And reflect on your past moves and how it all Affects you I wouldn't change much baby ida never met you I live in the present but never forget my hometown I like the water but I'll see you when I touch down Take it back to the small town Take it back where they know my name Take it back for a slow down Let's do it all over again All over again Take it back for a slow down Let's do it all over again
