Story Behind The Song

A song about growing up in a small town.

Lyrics

Small Town
Daddy was a minister and we moved around a lot
But when it comes to talking bout home there's just one spot
It was a little bitty town in the middle of no where
On the edge of those piney woods I learned to care

Chorus
And I played baseball and football
And went cruising in my parents van
I built fences and hauled hay and learned how to be a man
Met the girl of my dreams who'd later be my wife
I thank God I was in a small town livin' life.

When I was there I tried my best to get out
Small town life wasn't for me I needed a different route
But the further I got away the closer I needed to be
To those big brown eyes and those tall pine trees
Chorus
Bridge
So I married that girl of my dreams
We moved a lot too it seems
I know where I need to be.
Right where my kids can see.

I played War games in creek beds and drove 4 wheelers all day long
And in the back of Ms. Brown's class I wrote my favorite songs
Sang in church choir the solo always went to Andie Kay
And now I'm living the sweet life with my east texas girl today
And I moved back there with my two boys and my smokin' wife
I thank God I'm in a small town livin' life.
I thank God I'm in a small town livin' life.
