Every day someone asks me
"What's my story, and what do I like to do?"
And every day, for the most part, I only go so far
Almost never tell the truth
'Cause the truth is behind me, it's not much to give up
I like simple, not complicated
'Cause I'm a small town kid, driven by rock music
And some honky-tonk in the mix
I like whiskey in coke, a double to the top
A shot of Cuervo now and then
I never ask for a lot, I'll never need much
Just a good-looking lady who can drive my truck
Not afraid to admit
I'm that small town kid

And every day
Whoa
Thank God for editing, right?
City lights, yellow cabs, Yankee hats, suits and ties everywhere
These city folks, they look at me in my shirt and jeans
And made me think, I don't fit in here
Well, the things they say might be right
They might be so, but one thing I know
I can't change who I am
'Cause I'm a small town kid, driven by rock music
And some honky-tonk in the mix
Like a whiskey in coke, a double to the top
A shot of Cuervo now and then
Never ask for a lot, I'll never need much
Just a good-looking lady who can drive my truck
Not afraid to admit
I'm that small town kid
Mama, don't you worry
They won't change me
Hundred thousand miles, they mean nothing to me
