Joe Zelek Band Small Town Ohio
Around here we still love god and family
and cold beer and come a high school
friday night, you know we aint afraid to cheer
And everytime a soldier dies
We all stop and shed a tear.
We're good hearted people
livin honest lives around here
This is where i learned to take a stand
and when to just let it go
its where my old man took me in the
backyard and taught me how to throw
its all that i am and all that i'll ever know
I'm proud to be a simple man
straight out of small town ohio
My dad was born and raised right here
and his daddy too
This is where i'mma gonna raise my own
cause nothin less will do
We might not have the fanciest shoppin malls
and jobs are far between a few
but i still have a little faith in this place
now how about you?
This is where i learned to take a stand
and when to just let it go
its where my old man took me in the
backyard and taught me how to throw
its all that i am and all that i'll ever know
I'm proud to be a simple man
straight outta small town ohio
And i've heard em say we've seen
better days and i cant say their wrong
but if there's one thing that this old
town has taught me
It's how to be strong
Come on!
