[Verse 1]
Everyday is just a little white lie
Telling myself I'm gettin' by
I just stay in this room and cry
The snow it covers up the ground
And I can't hear a single sound
[Verse 2]
I'd turn off the TV and go for a drive
But I can't see there's any signs of life
Except this Christmas tree with blinking lights
I coulda made it but I messed around
I'm a loser with a rusty crown
Scared if I jump in the ocean I might drown
[Chorus]
King of a one horse town
I'm the king of a one horse town
And I barely pull my weight around
[Verse 3]
Thought about leavin' but I don't know
Wouldn't even know anywhere to go
Guess I'll stay on desolation road
Go get stoned and lay around
The beat of my drum is the only sound
I'd jump into the ocean but I'm scared I'd drown
[Chorus]
King of a one horse town
I'm a king of a one horse town
I'm a king of a one horse town
And I barely pull my weight around
[Chorus]
I'm a king of a one horse town
King of a one horse town
I'm a king of a one horse town
And I barely pull my weight around

The King of a One Horse Town is anyone who’s scared of the outside world. Anyone who’s afraid to go beyond their own block for fear of failure. It could be a drug dealer. A drunk. A professor. That’s a feeling any of us can relate to.
