Life ain't always easy living in a small town
The sun comes up before you know it
It's going right back down
The world's gonna keep on spinnin'
Around and around
And all the people want to know
What's going down
But I could still hear people talkin'
On things they don't know about
I tried not to listen to em'
But I could hear them say
He's a
Big Fish from a little pond
Doing big things in all the wrong ways
He'll never make it out of town
He'll be back around
When life's not going his way
I could just hear those haters talking sh...
He's never gonna make it far
He's never gonna leave this town
He's just a Big Fish in a small pond
I kicked the door down
And I was North bound
Big city dreams on my little mind
Leaving that dusty town behind
I was working real hard
Trying to get real far
And kept on singing those
Little town blues
He's just a
Big Fish from a little pond
Doing big things in all the wrong ways
He'll never make it in the city
Where the spot lights bright
He just don't have the guts
I could just hear those haters talkin' sh...
He's never gonna make it far
Not in this big city
He's just a Big Fish from a small pond
Chapter 3 begins with you and me
We bought a little house
Inside this big city
And I'm going far
And you're coming too
Because I ain't doing nothing
If it's without you
I know someday people will be saying
I can't believe he made
And we're hanging around
This little hill-billy town
Big Fish in the big city
Singing big love songs
He was out of the little town
Holding him down
Started living life his way
I can't wait until I could hear those haters say
I can't believe he made
Damn that kid got famous
Small fish small town
Big dreams no chance
You'll never make it if you don't start somewhere
You've got to start living life your way
No don't you listen to a single word they say
Their words are gonna cut you like a knife
Good thing we're packing heat
But life ain't easy living in a small town
