Saw a Cadillac for the first time yesterday.
I'd always seen horses, buggies, bales of hay.
‘Cos 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 [bad word] 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 ain'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.

‘Cos 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
‘Cos there's simply nothing much around.

Sure is [bad word] living in this one horse town,
There's half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground.
And I just can't wait to grow out of this one horse town,
There's nothing to steal
‘Cos there's simply nothing much around.
