Verse 1

In the tiny town where I come from
You grew up doing what your daddy does
And you don't ask questions, you do it just because   
You don't climb too high or dream too much
With a whole lot of work and a little bit of luck
You can wind up right back where your daddy was 

Chorus

This little bitty town, it ain't nothing new
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to  
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down  
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
Yeah this one horse town

Verse 2

I'm an old married man at the age of 23
Got two little boys on the baseball team
And that might be their only ticket out   
All they got is a worn out name
And a daddy that could've gone all the way
But I hung my saddle up and I settled down 

Chorus

This little bitty town, oh it ain't nothing new
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to  
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down  
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
Yeah this one horse town

Break

    
   

Chorus

This little bitty town, it ain't nothing new
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to  
Swallow your pride just to keep your family proud
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole thing down  
I'd saddle that one horse and ride it right out of this town
