The sign on the Johnsons’ barn says Jesus saves
They know they’re living in the land of the braves
Old man Johnson he don’t like me none
On account of his daughter thinks I’m the one
Tonight we’ll leave the county for the first time
In my old truck all covered in rust and grime
I was saving my money for a GTO
That’s what we’ll live on don’t you know
A small town love can still shine big as the sun
We just wanna be together, not outlaws on the run
But we’ll do what’s gotta be done
We got a job and a place in the big city
Took my girl outta the holler, she’s just as pretty
It’s a simple life when you don’t have much money
But every day in her arms is warm and sunny
A small town love can still shine big as the sun
We just wanna be together, not outlaws on the run
But we’ll do what’s gotta be done
Sometimes at night we talk about going back
We dream of driving home in a brand new Cadillac
Old man Johnson would probably shoot me on sight
Or maybe his heart would see the light?
A small town love can still shine big as the sun
We just wanna be together, not outlaws on the run
But we’ll do what’s gotta be done
