"My Little Town" lyrics

"My Little Town"

The lake is blue
The swimming is great
Why say, "I won't,"
When I like saying, "I ain't?"

I got a dog for a friend
I got BB gun dreams
Got an uncle in the war
And a fort in the trees

And I walk where I wanna
I'm a boy on foot
Think I'm big as an oak
I'm just-a sproutin' my roots
Uh-huh-huh

I know the folks
They all know me
Can't all be like-minded
But we can agree

Leave the boy be
Leave him with his bare feet
Catching lizards for fun
Ramping bikes on the street

But I'm headed home
Where nothing needs fixing
But the breakfast cooking
In my momma's kitchen, uh-huh

I got a young boy's mind and it's crystal clear
I can see the whole world just standing here
It's a one street town, I gotta get out
But it won't be long 'till imma singing about
Missing, missing, missing
Missing, missing, missing
My little town

Yeah, I got a young boy's mind and it's crystal clear
I can see the whole world just standing here
It's a one street town, I gotta get out
But it won't be long 'till imma singing about
Missing, missing, missing
Missing, missing, missing
My little town

What's wrong, momma?
Everything's right
We're out of Iraq
You can sleep at night

Oklahoma's a ways away
As far as tomorrow from today
And the rain comes down
And the grass grows green
Life is a science that you just can't teach
Uh-huh-huh

Oh, I got a young boy's mind and it's crystal clear
I can see the whole world just standing here
It's a one street town, I gotta get out
But it won't be long 'till I'll be singing about
Missing, missing, missing
Missing, missing, missing
My little town
My little town
My little town
