[00:00.27]Josh Abbott Band - I'll Sing About Mine
[00:03.20].
[00:15.95]In my hometown
[00:19.14]Population just a few thousand
[00:23.01]All of them kids at the drive-in
[00:26.51]After Friday nights football game
[00:29.33].
[00:31.89]That's the same place
[00:34.51]Where mom and dad went on their first date
[00:38.45]Had the same burger I just ate
[00:42.20]Man, some things never change
[00:45.08].
[00:48.95]That's what made me who I am today
[00:52.76]Gave me a million songs to play
[00:55.95]And when the radio's on I just don't understand
[01:02.20].
[01:03.45]Because tractors ain't sexy and workin' is hard
[01:07.89]For small town people like me
[01:10.95]And the radio's full of rich folks singin'
[01:15.64]'Bout places they've never seen
[01:18.77].
[01:20.08]Now I ain't saying that their lives ain't hard,
[01:23.64]I'd love to hear about it sometime
[01:28.45]But let them sing about their own life
[01:32.08]And I'll sing about mine
[01:35.70].
[01:40.52]I'm not complaining
[01:43.71]Running my mouth like an old man
[01:47.51]Talking 'bout a world that's changing
[01:51.21]And how it's given up on me
[01:53.95].
[01:56.33]I'm just saying down at Nick's on the weekend
[02:03.02]The small town anthems they're singing
[02:06.58]Don't sound like what you see
[02:09.52].
[02:13.58]When you talk about the dairy queen,
[02:17.39]Pick up trucks and Springsteen
[02:20.52]Make the place I love sound like a bad cartoon
[02:26.52].
[02:28.65]Because tractors ain't sexy and workin' is hard
[02:32.65]For small town people like me
[02:36.21]And the radio's full of rich folks singing
[02:40.34]'Bout the places they've never seen
[02:43.46].
[02:44.65]Now I ain't saying that their lives ain't hard,
[02:48.21]I'd love to hear about it sometime
[02:53.03]But let them sing about their own life
[02:56.53]And I'll sing about mine
[03:01.93].
[03:03.37]And if you want a song about
[03:07.06]A place like my hometown
[03:10.68]Take a weekend and come on down
[03:14.06]It won't take long to see
[03:17.24].
[03:17.43]'Cause tractors ain't sexy and workin' is hard
[03:21.62]For small town people like me
[03:25.43]And the radio's full of rich folks singing
[03:29.43]'Bout places they've never seen
[03:32.49].
[03:33.80]Now I ain't saying that their lives ain't hard,
[03:37.43]I'd love to hear about it sometime
[03:41.99]But let them sing about their own life
[03:45.87]And I'll sing about mine
[03:49.24].
[03:49.87]They can sing about their own life,
[03:53.74]I'll sing about mine
