[Verse 1]
Backed up traffic on the highway
Going nowhere
I had to stay back and work late (and I'm over it)
Tried looking up but all I see
High rise staring down at me
Not a star in sight
So I'm just thinking
[Chorus]
I'll head back to a small town
Home bound
Back to what I know
Back to a big sky
Low fi
That's where I'll go
There's always been a part of me
That never gave it up
So tonight it's time to turn this thing around (let's go)
Back to a small town
Small town
Small town yeah
Back to a small town
Small town
Small town yeah
[Verse 2]
Light disappears in the rear view
I'm moving on
I got my hands tapping on the dashboard
To a country song
And I can't get there not fast enough

[Chorus]
Back to a small town
Home bound
Back to what I know
Back to a big sky
Low fi
That's where I'll go
Oh there's always been a part of mе
That never gave it up
So tonight it's timе to turn this thing around yeah
Back to a small town

[Bridge]
Ah get the bonfire ready
Get the beers in the Yeti
'Cause baby I'm on my way
[Chorus]
Back to a small town
Home bound
Back to what I know
Back to a big sky
Little low fi
That's where I'll go
Oh there's always been a part of me
That never gave it up
So tonight it's time to turn this thing around yeah
Back to a small town
Small town
Small town yeah
Right back to a small town
Small town
Small town yeah yeah yeah
[Outro]

Oh right back to a

I wrote “Small Town” on the drive back home to my hometown of Wingham. I had been spending quite some time in the city and I was just so excited to get back to my family farm. I wanted to capture that feeling of excitement and anticipation in the song – that build-up as I was on that drive to get ba...
