I was talking with my friend just the other night We was laughing and smoking, Lord, feeling alright We got to talking about fortune and fame Well he's someone you've seen, I think you'd know his name He said: "Life ain't easy as it seems When they put you on the cover of the glossy magazines Everybody knows your business, at least they think they do And everybody wants a little piece of you To me this whole world 'round Is just another one horse town Don't get me wrong, life has been good to me I've got my share of good friends, my share of luxuries But it's hard to keep track of all the people I meet And everybody knows me on every back street But that's the price that we pay for living life this way Sometimes I wish that I could end all the games that we play Kick the dust off my travelling shoes, but any road that I choose Would only lead me right back to these small town blues That's why the whole world 'round Is just another one horse town When the day comes and my time is through Hope I've done all the things I was put here to do Hope folks remember me for things I've done and said And I won't be just another pretty picture in their heads And when I reach that last go 'round And I hear that mighty trumpet sound Angels will come sailing down And lightly touch down on the ground Yes they will sail on down And lift me out of this one horse town Sail on down And lift me out of this one horse town"
