[Verse 1]
        Dm             F          
In the tiny town where I come from
     C                      G         
You grew up doing what your daddy done
        Dm                       F                 C
And you don't ask questions, you do it just because
          Dm                  F           
You don't climb too high or dream too much
         C                     G                        
With a whole lotta work and a little bit of luck you can
 Dm                  F                 C
Wind up right back where your daddy was

[Chorus]
                  Am                    F   
This little bitty town, it ain't nothin' new
                C                             GE7
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
            Am                               C   
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
              G                                       F  
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
     F                 G                     Am  
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
                     C   
Yeah, this one horse town

[Verse 2]
        Dm                    F        
I'm an old married man at the age of 23
     C                      G           
Got two little boys on the baseball team
     Dm                  F             C
And that might be their only ticket out
Dm                 F           
All they got is a worn out name
      C                           G         
And a daddy that could have gone all the way
      Dm              F                   C
But I hung my saddle up and I settled down

[Chorus]
                  Am                        F   
This little bitty town, oh, it ain't nothin' new
                C                             GE7
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
            Am                               C   
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
              G                                       F  
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
     F                 G                     Am  
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
                     C   
Yeah, this one horse town

[Solo]
Dm   F   C   G
Dm   F   C   C

[Ending Chorus]
                  Am                             F   
This little bitty town, oh yeah, it ain't nothin' new
                C                             GE7
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
            Am                               C   
Swallow your pride just to keep your family proud
              G                                       F  
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole thing down
     F                        G                         C   
I'd saddle that one horse and ride it right out of this town
