A lot of people called it prison when I was growin' up These are my roots and this is what I love Cause everybody knows me and I know them And I believe that's the way we were supposed to live Wouldn't trade one single day in small town U-S-A Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side A little Hank Jr. and a six pack of lights Old dirt road and I'll be just fine Give me a Sunday morning that's full of grace A simple life and I'll be okay Here in small town U-S-A Around here people break there backs just to earn a buck We never get ahead but we have enough I watch people leave and they come right back I never wanted any part of that I'm proud to say that I love this place Good ole small town U-S-A Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side David Allen Coe and a six pack of lights Old dirt road and I'll be just fine Give me a Sunday morning that full of grace A simple life and I'll be okay Here in small town U-S-A Oh yeah I wouldn't trade one single day I'm proud to say I love this place Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side Sweet home Alabama a six pack of lights Old dirt road and I'll be just fine Give me a Sunday morning that's full of grace A simple life and I'll be okay Here in small town U-S-A Yeah, small town U-S-A
