One Horse Town

One horse town - Elton John [Verse 1] Saw a Cadillac for the first time yesterday I’d always seen horses buggies bales of hay ’Cause progress here don’t move with modern times   There’s nothing to steal So there’s not a great deal of crime - oh! oh! [Chorus 1] It sure is hell living in a one horse town There’s half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground Nothing much doing of an afternoon Unless you’re sitting in a rocking chair just picking a tune       [Chorus 2] And they ain’t too well acquainted with the stars and stripes But if you want to hear Susanna then they’ll pick all night They’ll pick all night [Verse 2] ’Cause it’s no dice living in a one horse town Laid back as my old coon hound And I just can’t wait to get out of this one horse town There’s nothing to steal `cause there’s simply nothing much around      [Chorus 2] And they ain’t too well acquainted with the stars and stripes But if you want to hear Susanna then they’ll pick all night They’ll pick all night [Outro] It sure is hell living in a one horse town There’s half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground Nothing much doing of an afternoon Unless you’re sitting in a rocking chair just picking a tune
