Johnathan East One Horse Town
Another small town Friday night, hangin’ down town
smokin’ Marlboro Lights
And, yelling at the girls when they ride by
There goes a couple of friends of mine, in a beat up
Dodge, with some homemade wine
There ain’t too much them boys won’t try
So pull out the speakers, crank up the sound
Here come the cops yelling turn that down
Says they ain’t gonna tell us again
But, everybody here wants to have a little fun
Make a little noise while the night’s still young
And they ain’t no rules that we can’t bend.
(Chorus)
In a one horse town, there ain’t much change
Every day is just the same old thing
That’s the only place that I call home
You won’t find no city lights, just dusty roads and
four-wheel drives
And the nights are hot as the days are long
Now, I can’t say I’ve been around, but I’m proud to
come, from a one horse town.
Now, Ricky done had one too many, trying to find
trouble
But he can’t find any ‘round here
It happens every time
Willie walks out from the Texaco, says if you ain’t
pumping gas, you got to go
So we all take it to the county line
Out in the woods and down by the creek, got pickup
trucks, cars and jeeps
‘Neath the full moon sky
With the wind blowing through your hair, got a case of
Bud and an old lawn chair
Just watching the world go by.
(Repeat Chorus)
When you’re sixteen it can sure be tough
You think this old town ain’t near big enough
But, you’ll find out no matter where you roam
Well, there ain’t no place that feels like home.
Ah, yeah.
(Repeat Chorus)
