Lyrics
Drive down Main street
aint much left to see
dusty old windows
alot of used to be's
Pull in any parking lot
guareteed you'll find a spot
everywhere you go its front row seats
(pre)
When the factories left
they said this town was done
if look around were still hanging on
(chorus)
on friday nights, at the football game
we bow our heads, then we sing
home of the free and the brave
Politcally correct dont mean a thing
because right is right and Jesus is king
and thats the way its gonna be
Its where my daddy's in the ground
yeah you can say I'm proud
Of this One Horse town
(2nd Verse)
Aunt Cathy runs her hardware store
since my uncle went to war
now every year we fly the flag for the MIA's
Here we all believe
the price of freedom sure aint free
he's still in some rice-patty in Vietnam
(pre)
and one day on the otherside
I'll get to thank him eye to eye
(Chorus)
because on Friday nights
at the football game
we bow our heads then sing
the land of the free and the brave
(next page)
Politcally correct dont mean a thing
cause right is right, and Jesus is king
and thats the way its gonna be
one day its where they'll lay me down
yeah you can say I'm proud
of this One Horse town
