Lyrics and translation
Original
There's still only four digits in our population
We're still keepin' things just the way God made it
There's been some old city folks tryna come in to change it
Wouldn't trade them square 40 fields for one inch of pavement
We're still hollerin' up in them hills
I reckon that we always will
We're still keepin' them parkin' lot half-ton circled on up
Still lightin' that fire with a diesel-filled cup
Like my daddy done it and had his daddy did
Still thinkin' this way of livin's gettin' as good as it gets
If you ever thought about never leavin' your little town
Keepin' them roots in the ground, well, keep holdin' it down
There's still 35s rollin' down the blacktop
Still ridin' 'round this little bitty map dot
And you can finally set the corner for a case of 'em
'Cause nothin' changed from the days when we knew nothin' but
Keepin' them parkin' lot half-ton circled on up
Still lightin' that fire with a diesel filled cup
Like my daddy done it and had his daddy did
Still thinkin' this way of livin's gettin' as good as it gets
If you ever thought about never leavin' your little town
Keepin' them roots in the ground, well, keep holdin' it down
So keep holdin' it down
'Cause you're proud of where you came from
Holdin' it down, it's the way that you were raised up
Keepin' them parkin' lot half-ton circled on up
And lightin' that fire with a diesel-filled cup
Like my daddy done it and his daddy did
Still thinkin' this way of livin's gettin' as good as it gets
If you ever thought about never leavin' your little town
Keepin' them roots in the ground, well, keep holdin' it down
Keep holdin' it down
