(Verse)
 
          Dm                    F 
In the tiny town where I come from 
       C                                       G 
You grew up doing what your daddy does 
                Dm                              F              C 
And you don't ask questions you do it just because 
                Dm                     F 
You don't climb to high or dream too much 
            C                                   G 
With a whole lot of work and a little bit of luck 
              Dm                 F                                   C 
You can wind up right back where your daddy was 


                       Am                           F 
This little bitty town it ain't nothing new 
                    C                                            G            Em 
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us too 
                      Am                                           C 
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud 
              G                                                             F 
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down 
    F                            G                               Am 
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town 



(Verse) 
Yeah this one horse town 
I'm an old married man at the age of 23 
Got 2 little boys on the baseball team 
And that might be their only ticket out 
All they got is a worn out name 
And a daddy that could've gone all the way 
But I hang my saddle up and I settled down 

(SOLO) Dm F C G - Dm F C 


                       Am                           F 
This little bitty town it ain't nothing new 
                    C                                            G            Em 
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us too 
                      Am                                           C 
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud 
              G                                                             F 
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down 
    F                            G                               Am 
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town (2x)
