[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
