Small Town King Songtext
von Baba Shrimps

I′ve been stuck in this one-bar town
Where the river's filled with shopping carts
Blowing leaves to save a dime
But the price to leave is just too sharp
So I′m still here

My school friends ain't around
They are big living in their brand-new cars
Got my head above this credit drown
While I'm wearing out my dad′s guitar
Oh, I′m still here
Yeah, I'm still here

I can see the lights on the horizon
The city glows in the colors of the night
Like a fantasy without the fear of trying
So don′t you mess around
I will not back down
I'm the king of this small town


Thought it was better to dream than to
Live a life of hollow days
Performing out in my backyard
To the dying dog and family friends
Yeah, I′m still here
Oh, I'm still here

Started working in the bar where it′s
Only heaving when it rains
Fell in love while playing cards she is
Crazy cool and twice my age
Oh, I'm still here
Yeah, I'm still here

I can see the lights on the horizon
The city glows in the colors of the night
Like a fantasy without the fear of trying
So don′t you mess around
I will not back down
I′m the king of this small town

There's nothing to heal when I′m home
Nothing to fix if it ain't broke
There′s nobody here that I don't know
So why would I leave what I call home


There′s nothing to heal when I'm home
Nothing to fix if it ain't broke
There′s nobody here that I don′t know
So why would I leave what I call home
