Album: The Tragically Hip (1987)

Small Town Bringdown

Been to Reno
Drives an El Camino
Can you dig that style?
Hip canteen
You always make the scene
You're a crazy child

It's a sad thing, bourbon's all around
To stop that feeling when you're living in a small town
You're long and lean but things don't get you down
You're a top ten kingpin in the borders of your hometown

Can't get hip
You work the jobs I've quit
Don't you dig that style?
You won't admit
You just don't give a shit
'Cause your mind's gone wild

It's a sad thing, bourbon's all around
To stop that feeling when you're living in a small town
You're long and lean but things don't get you down
You're a top ten kingpin in the borders of your hometown

Can't live to die, too easy
Why stick around?
I want my live to please me
Not another small town hometown bringdown

This is it
You might as well get pissed
Don't you dig that style?
Make your trip
There ain't that much to miss
When your mind's gone wild

It's a sad thing, bourbon's all around
To stop that feeling when you're living in a small town
You're long and lean but things don't get you down
You're a top ten kingpin in the borders of your hometown

Within the borders of your hometown
Within the borders of your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown, yeah
