Been to Reno, drives an El Camino, can you dig that style?
Hip canteen, you always make the scene, you're a crazy child
It's a sad thing, bourbon's all around
To stop that feeling when you're living in a small town
You're long and lean, but things don't get you down
You're a top ten kingpin in the borders of your hometown
Can't get hip, you work the jobs I've quit, can you dig that style?
Won't admit, you just don't give a shit, you're a crazy child.
It's a sad thing, bourbon's all around
To stop that feeling when you're living in a small town
You're long and lean, but things don't get you down
You're a top ten kingpin in the borders of your hometown
Can't live to die, too easy, why stick around?
I want my live to please me, not another small town hometown bringdown
This is it, you might as well get pissed, can you dig that style?
Make your trip, there ain't that much to miss, you're a crazy child
It's a sad thing, bourbon's all around
To stop that feeling when you're living in a small town
You're long and lean, but things don't get you down
You're a top ten kingpin in the borders of your hometown
