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
