Tabbed by Ken Lazell


Intro Am-C

       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


(Chorus)

                   Am                     F
This little bitty town it ain't nothing new
             C                               G   E
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
                  Dm                          Am
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
                    C
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 hung my saddle up and I settled down

(Chorus)

Solo
Dm-F-C-G-Dm-F-C


                   Am                           F
This little bitty town oh yeah it ain't nothing new
              C                              G    E
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us too
             Am                              C
Swallow your pride just to keep your family proud
             G                                        F
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole thing down
                              Dm                       C       
I'd saddle that one horse and ride it right out of this town
