My Life's a Country Song! (and this one's a good thing!)

My absolute favorite country song right now is "Small Town USA", performed by Justin Moore who's an Arkansan himself. I just love the lyrics; they're soooooo me (except for the 6 pack of beer, since I don't drink). Living a simple life is something to strive for, I believe, and I'm learning to embrace the simple things in life, which just happen to come with living in a small "country" town.

"A lot of people called it prison when I was growin' up
But these are my roots and this is what I love
Cause everybody knows me and I know them
And I believe that's the way we were supposed to live
Wouldn't trade one single day here in small town USA

Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side
A little Hank Jr. and a six pack of lite
Old dirt road and I'll be just fine
Give me a Sunday morning that's full of grace
A simple life and I'll be okay
Here in small town USA

Around here we break our backs just to earn a buck
We never get ahead but we have enough
I watch people leave and then come right back
I never wanted any part of that
I'm proud to say that I love this place
Good ole small town USA

Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side
David Allen Coe and a six pack of lite
Old dirt road and I'll be just fine
Give me a Sunday morning that's full of grace
A simple life and I'll be okay
Here in small town USA

Oh yeah I wouldn't trade one single day
I'm proud to say I love this place

Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side
Sweet home Alabama and a six pack of lite
Old dirt road and I'll be just fine
Give me a Sunday morning that's full of grace
A simple life and I'll be okay
Yeah I'll be okay
Here in small town USA
Oh yeah small town USA"
