One Horse Town lyrics

Saw a Cadillac for the first time yesterday

I'd always seen horses, buggies, bales of hay

Because progress here, don't move with modern times

There's nothing to steal

So, there's not a great deal of crime

It sure is hell living in a one horse town

There's half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground

Nothing much doing of an afternoon

Unless you're sitting in a rocking chair, just picking a tune

And they aren't too well acquainted with the stars and stripes

But if you want to hear Susanna, then they'll pick all night

They'll pick all night

Because it's no dice living in a one horse town

Laid back, as my old coon hound

And I just can't wait to get out of this one horse town

There's nothing to steal cause there's simply nothing much around

And they aren't too well acquainted with the stars and stripes

But if you want to hear Susanna, then they'll pick all night

They'll pick all night

It sure is hell living in a one horse town

There's half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground

Nothing much doing of an afternoon

Unless you're sitting in a rocking chair, just picking a tune
