My Old Town / Martin Dean

VS1
I had to leave this tiny place and head out to the city,
I had to find out what the fuss was all about.
They said the men were all dressed up and the girls were pretty.
There's always plenty of work and no one ever has to go without.
Looking back in my rear-view mirror, that's when things started becoming clearer,
that might be about the time when I started to have my doubts, 
REFRAIN
about leaving my old town, I'm leaving my old town.

VS2
It didn't take long before something began to tell me,
this ain't the kinda place that I thought it was supposed to be like.
People honking their horns and showing off their middle fingers,
even those pretty little girls didn't know how to be polite.
I met a girl who didn't do huntin' or fishin',
she had a pretty face but she had me wishin'
I'd never let those country girls out of my site,
REFRAIN 
back in my old town, I'm goin' back to my old town.

VS3
Mom and I went down on Sunday to the church where I first met Jesus,
I listened real good and slipped a 20 into the plate,
I know that Momma McCreech is gonna cry when she first sees us,
Invite us over for supper 1:30 and don't be late.
Then she asked me if I'm gonna be stayin' for long,
she said that this town is where I really belong,
And that I need to meet her cute young niece named Mary Kate.
REFRAIN
Back in my old town, I'm back in my old town.

VS4 / BR
Me and Mary Kate gotta little thing goin' on,
and now we both know that it won't be long,
for her and I to know this is where we both wanna' stay,
REFRAIN
back in my old town, back in my old town.
