Small Town King

[Verse 1]
Every map dot has a few
Good ol' boys keepin' it old school
Fight somebody at the drop of a hat
Help somebody, give the shirt off his back
And love somebody like she oughta be loved
Throws a little thanks to the man above
For all he's got, it ain't a lot, but it's enough

[Chorus]
He's a mama's boy, a John Deere rider
Dirt on his boots, the heart of a fighter
Chevy square body, old Skoal ring
Simple man on an old six-string
Friday night, John 3:16
Backroad baptized just like me
He's holdin' it down, he earned that ground
He's a small-town, small-town king

[Verse 2]
He holds court in a cornfield
And he holds court on a bar stool
He paints every damn shade of red
But when she smiles just right, he plays it cool

[Chorus]
'Cause he's a mama's boy, a John Deere rider
Dirt on his boots, the heart of a fighter
Chevy square body, old Skoal ring
Simple man on an old six-string
Friday night, John 3:16
Backroad baptized just like me
He's holdin' it down, he earned that ground
He's a small-town, small-town king
Yeah

[Refrain]
Fight somebody at the drop of a hat
Help somebody, give the shirt off his back
Love somebody like she oughta be loved
Throws a little thanks to the man above

[Bridge]
Not the first and won't be the last
And he knows he'll never leave
Even when he's six feet under the grass
He'll still be the small-town king
Mm, the small-town king
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
He's a mama's boy, a John Deere rider
Dirt on his boots, the heart of a fighter
Chevy square body, old Skoal ring
Simple man on an old six-string
Friday night, John 3:16
Backroad baptized just like me
He's holdin' it down, he earned that ground
He's a small-town
He's a mama's boy, a John Deere rider
Dirt on his boots, the heart of a fighter (Yeah)
Chevy square body, old Skoal ring (Yeah)
Simple man on an old six-string (Ooh)
Friday night, John 3:16
Backroad baptized just like me
He's holdin' it down, he earned that ground
He's a small-town, a small-town king

[Outro]
Fight somebody at the drop of a hat (Eh, yeah)
Help somebody, give the shirt off his back
Love somebody like she oughta be loved (Yeah)
Throws a little thanks to the man above (Small-town king)
Fight somebody at the drop of a hat
Help somebody, give the shirt off his back (Ooh)
Love somebody like she oughta be loved
Throws a little thanks to the man above
