Josh Abbott - I'll Sing About Mine lyrics

rate me

In my hometown

Population just a few thousand

All of those kids at the drive in

After Friday nights football game

Thats the same place

Mom and dad went on their first date

Had the same burger I just ate

Man some things never change

Thats what made me who I am today

Gave me a million songs to play

When the radios on I just dont understand

Because tractors aint sexy,

And workin is hard,

For small town people like me

And the radios full of rich folks singin

About places theyve never seen

And I aint sayin their lifes aint hard

Id love to hear about it sometime,

Let em sing about their own life

And Ill sing about mine.

Im not complaining,

Running my mouth like an old man

Talking about a world thats changing

And how its given up on me

And Im just saying

Down at nicks on a weekend

Small town anthems theyre singin g

Dont sound like what you see

When you talk about the dairy queen

Pickup trucks and Springsteen

Make the place I love

Sound like a bad cartoon

Because tractors aint sexy,

And workin is hard,

For small town people like me

And the radios full of rich folks singin

About places theyve never seen

And I aint sayin their lifes aint hard

Id love to hear about it sometime,

Let em sing about their own life

And Ill sing about mine.

If you want a song about

A place like my hometown

Take a weekend to come on down

It wont take long to see

Because tractors aint sexy,

And working is hard,

For small town people like me

And the radios full of rich folks singing

About places theyve never seen

And I aint saying their lifes aint hard

Id love to hear about it sometime,

Let em sing about their own life

And Ill sing about mine.

They can sing about their own life

And ill sing about mine.
