| When I was a little boy 'bout 12 years old |
| To go to the city was my goal |
| When I got to be 21 |
| I packed my bags and away I ran |
| When I got to the city I found times was hard |
| I found happiness but only in my backyard |
| For some folks live in cities of this live in town |
| But you can have your city and let it get you down |
| For i was meant to be nothing but a small town boy |
| You can have your city and I’ll keep my town |
| I’ll stay in my (?) and won’t get me down |
| For I was meant to be nothing but a small town boy |
| You dance all night and you sleep all day |
| Life to you is like a little childish play |
| You’re living this life that you think is so sweet |
| But what you’re gonna do when they bury you six feet deep |
| You can have your city and I’ll keep my town |
| Stay right on the city, let it get you down |
| But i was meant to be nothing but a small boy |
| You dance all night and you sleep all day |
| Life to you is like a little childish play |
| You’re living this life that you think is so sweet |
| But what you’re gonna do when they bury you six feet deep |
