You feel frozen But you've been chosen You lay there drunken Your dreams seem sunken Your world's a small one And you break the rules You're one big fish In a bowl of fools Tired of serving up your town Tired of wearing that crown Tired of sliding up and down Tired of being you Your work's no future Your girl don't suit you Your bar won't serve you You have no nerve to Make a break From this sad old school Across the lake Lies a place that's cool Run, you got a place to go Run, you got a boat to row Run, you got a face to show Run while you can The high street's sleeping As Friday's creeping The shops are open But their minds are closed How's it going? But it's not their concern They're talking stuff about you That you never learn Smile, you're on your own Smile, 'cause you've outgrown Smile, you lost your home Smile to yourself

To the folks who need the money but won't sell the family forty Keep telling that suit and tie no To all them hidden county liners, little mom and pop diners Keep telling big money where to go Remember God only made so much real estate Tell the bank I'm gon' take it to the grave Let's keep the red dirt roads red dirt Keep the little white church, keep keeping God first Keep dragging that plow, keep the blue on your collar Keep the sweat on your dollar, keep the sins in the water And your roots in thе ground Keep standing tall, the hell in your naw Herе's to all y'all keepin' small towns small To the ones who rocking rust on a box-bodied truck Rev it up, keep that rubber burned down To the ones coming home to your homecoming queen Keep making that girl's daddy proud To all of y'all fighting for that flag We gon' hold it down 'til ya get back And keep the red dirt roads red dirt Keep the little white church, keep keeping God first Keep dragging that plow, keep the blue on your collar Keep the sweat on your dollar, keep the sins in the water And your roots in the ground Keep standing tall, the hell in your naw Here's to all y'all keepin' small towns small To the gone but not forgotten God, tell 'em we got 'em And we know they're looking down on this town So we gon' keep them red dirt roads red dirt Keep the little white church, keep keeping God first Keep dragging that plow, keep the blue on your collar Keep the sweat on your dollar, keep the sins in the water And your roots in the ground Keep standing tall, the hell in your naw Here's to all y'all keepin' small towns small We keepin' small towns small

May God bless and keep you always May your wishes all come true May you always do for others And let others do for you May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung And may you stay forever young May you stay forever young May your hands always be busy May your feet always be swift May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift May your heart always be joyful May your song always be sung And may you stay forever young May you stay forever young Forever young Forever young May you stay Forever young May you grow up to be righteous May you grow up to be true May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you May you always be courageous Stand upright and be strong And may you stay forever young May you stay forever young Forever young Forever young May you stay Forever young May you stay Forever young

I don't know what on Earth I'd do without an angel like you I'd be lost like a ship at sea that took a wrong turn in the dark Could put a pen to the story of my life, but never know where to start I'd be skipping days and slipping through the nights without feeling a thing If you weren't here putting me right, what would my life mean? I don't know what on Earth I'd do without an angel like you Caught in a fire so hot without the rain to make it stop They would paint me a fool in a world that's so cruel Would be hell to go through without an angel like you All I need is a shot of your smile to chase the blues away And anybody else woulda give it up, you're the kind of love that stays All of that time I was looking for you, I knew there had to be a plan And I get everything I ever wanted in life when you tell me I'm a good man I don't know what on Earth I'd do without an angel like you Caught in a fire so hot without the rain to make it stop They would paint me a fool in a world that's so cruel Would be hell to go through without an angel like you I don't know what on Earth I'd do without an angel like you Caught in a fire so hot without the rain to make it stop They would paint me a fool in a world that's so cruel Would be hell to go through without an angel like you I don't know what on Earth I'd do without an angel like you Yeah
