[Guitar Intro]

Am    C    x2


[Verse 1]

        Dm              F
In the tiny town where I come from
     C                      G
You grew up doing what your daddy's done
        Dm                       F                 C
And you don't ask questions, you do it just because
            Dm                F
You don't climb too high or dream too much
         C                     G
With a whole lot of work and a little bit of luck
          Dm                 F                  C
You can wind up right back where your daddy was


[Chorus]

                   Am                    F
This little bitty town, it ain't nothing new
                C                            G    E
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
                Am                                C
You swallow your pride just to make your family proud
              G                                       F
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
     F                 G                     Am
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
                     C
Yeah, this one horse town


[Verse 2]

        Dm                     F
I'm an old married man at the age of 23
    C                        G
Got two little boys on the baseball team
     Dm                  F            C
And that might be their only ticket out
Dm                 F
All they got is a worn out name
       C                        G
And a daddy that could've gone all the way
      Dm             F                  C
But I hung my saddle up and I settled down


[Chorus]

                   Am                       F
This little bitty town, oh it ain't nothing new
               C                             G    E
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
                Am                                C
You swallow your pride just to make your family proud
              G                                       F
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
     F                 G                     Am
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
                     C
Yeah, this one horse town

Dm  F  C


[Chorus]

                  Am                              F
This little bitty town, oh yeah, it ain't nothing new
               C                             G    E
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
                Am                                C
You swallow your pride just to keep your family proud
              G                                       F
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole thing down
     F                        G                         C
I'd saddle that one horse and ride it right out of this town
