Small-Town Wild Side

[Verse 1]
Got a cross on the mirror
Mud still baked on my boots
Mama thinks I’m Sunday morning
Daddy thinks I’ll never move
But there’s a dent in this tailgate
From a midnight parking lot fight
And a girl in my passenger pictures
Who only calls late at night
[Chorus]
I got a small-town wild side
Halo on
Headlights off
I can preach it in the daytime
Lose my mind after dark
Yeah
I’m straight-edge ’til that sun slides
Down behind that county line
I got a small-town wild side
Small-town wild side
[Verse 2]
Work shirt smells like diesel
Name tag pinned on straight
“Yes ma’am” to the locals
Clock out
I’m an hour too late
For that backroad ′round the river
Where we spin gravel into smoke
Where the good kids go be bad kids
’Til their last dollar’s broke (hey!)
[Chorus]
I got a small-town wild side
Halo on
Headlights off
I can preach it in the daytime
Lose my mind after dark
Yeah
I’m straight-edge ’til that sun slides
Down behind that county line
I got a small-town wild side
Small-town wild side
[Bridge]
Sunday in a fresh-pressed shirt
Friday in ripped-up jeans
I’m the prayer on my mama’s list
I’m the talk on everybody’s screen
You can judge me
You can ride
Shotgun or step aside
[Chorus]
’Cause I got a small-town wild side
Halo on
Headlights off
I can preach it in the daytime
Lose my mind after dark
Yeah
I’m straight-edge ’til that sun slides
Down behind that county line
Yeah
I’m the saint and I’m the fight
All rolled into one tonight
I got a small-town wild side
Small-town wild side (oh)
Small-town wild side
