about

Small Town America is a gritty, alt-country rock track inspired by an endless dirt road & too much time to burn. Small towns are the lungs that keep breathing through every haze, pick up the slack, and heighten the blaze – an ever growing story throughout the song. The backroad harmonies & angsty-americana guitars mix in for an anthemic, badass journey that’s sure to make you drive 90 in a 45.

lyrics

Grew up poor grew up thin
Being something someday was a sin
On a path going forever nowhere
When I wasn’t working I was with my friends
There wasn’t much to do except pretend
We’re brave enough to drive through the dead ends
But I always knew I was meant for more
Got up again with each slamming door
Got used to sleeping out on the floorboards

When we go out of this town
We drive around we drive around we drive around
Leave behind all of the sounds all of the sounds
When we’re out on a drive
We are alive we are alive we are alive
When we go out of this town westward bound
Small town america we are your lost and found

I know my neighbors a little too well
Their dirty secrets and their wishing wells
Got enough dirt to make me a mountain
Some folks pick up work at the county jail
Some open up shops some are wired to fail
Feet off the ground but barely dragging
Barely dragging

When we go out of this town
We drive around we drive around we drive around
Leave behind all of the sounds all of the sounds
When we’re out on a drive
We are alive we are alive we are alive
When we go out of this town westward bound
Small town america we are your lost and found

Built for the dust
Made for the grit
Every face every name never forget
Making up the lungs that keep on breathing
And we keep on breathing through every haze
We pick up the slack, we heighten the blaze
We create we remake we shoulder what we take
And I see it in you my friend when we go

Out of this town
We drive around we drive around we drive around
Leave behind all of the sounds all of the sounds
When we’re out on a drive
We are alive we are alive we are alive
When we go out of this town westward bound
Small town america we are your lost and found

When I wasn’t working I was with my friends
There wasn’t much to do except pretend
We’re brave enough to drive through the dead ends
