The Divorcees - Small Town City Boy

He's known 'round here as a small town city boy
You'd probably know his kind when he walks in
He used to live on Main Street, past the courthouse
'Til he moved away to the city full of sin
The second he comes home, he starts to talkin'
'Bout all the fancy parties he attends
And how us folk just don't know what we're missin'
Someday he's gonna have to make amends
We all know he's a small town city boy
'Cause he was raised with everyone 'round here
Moved to a big ol' city 'bout 1000 miles away
Your small town roots will never disappear
He glides up to the bar and starts to askin'
About the finest bottles sittin’ there on the shelf
Years ago he'd drink the cheapest whiskey
And make a goddamn fool out of himself
You'll hear him talking clear around the corner
'Bout high-priced cars and all his fancy clothes
When he comes into town he makes an entrance
Just to make sure that everybody knows
We all know he's a small town city boy
'Cause he was raised with everyone 'round here
Moved to a big ol' city 'bout 1000 miles away
Your small town roots will never disappear
We all know he's a small town city boy
'Cause he was raised with everyone 'round here
Moved to a big ol' city 'bout 1000 miles away
Your small town roots will never disappear
Your small town roots will never disappear
