Elton John - One Horse Town lyrics

Music by elton john and james newton-howard

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album blue moves

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

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

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

`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

Sure is hell living in this one horse town

There's half a mile of alabama mud bed ground

And I just can't wait to get out of this one horse town

There's nothing to steal `cause there's nothing much around
