I’ll Sing About Mine

[Verse 1]
In my hometown, population twenty-five thousand
All of them here at the drive-in after Friday night's football game
That's the same place that mom and dad went for their first date
They had the same burger I just ate, yeah, some things never change
And that's what made me who I am today
Gave me a million songs to play
But when the radio's on, I just don't understand

[Chorus]
Because tractors ain't sexy and working is hard for small town people like me
And the radio's full of rich folks singing 'bout places thеy'd never seen
Now, I ain't saying their lifе ain't hard, I'd love to hear about it sometime
Let 'em sing about sing about their own life, and I'll sing about mine

[Verse 2]
I'm not complaining, running my mouth like an old man
Talking 'bout a world that's changing and how it's given up on me
Well, I'm just saying that down at Nick's on the weekend
The small town anthems they're singing don't sound like what you see
And when you talk about the Dairy Queen
Pickup trucks and Springsteen
Make the place I love sound like a bad cartoon

[Chorus]
Because tractors ain't sexy and working is hard for small town people like me
And the radio's full of rich folks singing 'bout places they'd never seen
Now, I ain't saying their life ain't hard, I'd love to hear about it sometime
Let 'em sing about sing about their own life, and I'll sing about mine

[Bridge]
And if you want a song about
A place like my hometown
Take a weekend and come on down
It won't take long to see

[Chorus]
That tractors ain't sexy, working is hard for small town people like me
And the radio's full of these rich folks singing 'bout places they'd never seen
Now, I ain't saying their life ain't hard, I'd love to hear about it sometime
Let 'em sing about sing about their own life, and I'll sing about mine

[Outro]
They can sing about their own life, I'll sing about mine
