I grew up with comfort and safety
And if I'm being honest, a little frustrating
'Cuz everyone in town knew my name
Constant reminders of where I've come from
"I worked for your grandpa, did you know that son?"
Pretty big shoes to fill, some I never wanna try on

Good place to raise a family,
If your family looks a certain way
Took me awhile to feel like that's something I could say

Some are saying "try that in a small town"
Some of us are trying harder in a small town
Working hard to make this a better place
You can count on us taking care of our own
And yeah, I know it's far from what's been shown
You don't have to love or look like me to be my own
The love we claim on a small town Sunday
Shouldn't have so many strings attached
Maybe we should try that, try that
Try that in a small town

Now I ain't sayin' it's all bad
People on my side every time I look back
No other reason than growing up on ball teams
Coached by our dads
But it's the same place hell was raised
When they wanted to open a bar on Main
Clutchin' their pearls when we mention race
'Cuz we're raised on sweet tea and hate

Good place to grow up
If you never wanna grow up
Say "You need to be saved"
While they defend hate speech on their Facebook page

Some are saying "try that in a small town"
Some of us are trying harder in a small town
Working hard to make this a better place
You can count on us taking care of our own
And yeah, I know it's far from what's been shown
You don't have to love or look like me to be my own
The love we claim on a small town Sunday
Shouldn't have so many strings attached
Maybe we should try that, try that
Try that in a small town

Good ol' boys, where are the good ol' girls?
When they have dreams beyond ribbons and curls
It's cherry-picked Bible verses about how
That ain't right
They crucify my friends for being gay
Fly rebel flags "so they're not erased"
But the greatest sin is a middle finger to
Their Good ol' ways

Some are saying "try that in a small town"
Some of us are trying harder in a small town
Working hard to make this a better place
You can count on us taking care of our own
And yeah, I know it's far from what's been shown
You don't have to love or look like me to be my own
The love we claim on a small town Sunday
Shouldn't have so many strings attached
Maybe we should try that, try that
Try that in a small town
