One Horse Town

Verse 1

You were the king of the palace nights,

Small village golden boy, everyone’s type.

Talked big dreams like you’d leave this place,

But you never made it past the kingdom gates.

Thought you’d be more than that old crown,

But you still live in that one horse town.

Chorus

Don’t you ever wonder what else is out there?

Another life in another somewhere?

A midnight ride out the palace gates,

A foreign street in the summer rain.

Thought you’d fly,

but you stayed on the ground

And you still live in that one horse town.

Verse 2

Now you’re married to your ole dame,

Kids with her smile and your last name.

But I wonder late when the lights go down

Do you ever feel like you’re missing out?

Will you look back when the silence gets loud?

And think I still live in this one horse town.

Chorus

Don’t you ever wonder what else is out there?

Another life in another somewhere?

A midnight ride out the palace gates,

A foreign street in the summer rain.

Thought you’d fly

but you stayed on the ground,

And you still live in that one horse town.

Bridge

I hope it feels like a dream come true,

With baby shoes and a perfect view.

But when the road not taken starts to call,

Will you wish you’d left after all?

Chorus

Don’t you ever wonder what else is out there?

Another life in another somewhere?

A midnight ride out the palace gates,

A foreign street in the summer rain.

Thought you’d fly

but you stayed on the ground,

And you still live in that one horse town.
