Your rating:



[Lil Yuk]

Boy say to me, he say, "Ay Yuk! What's yo favorite city?"

And I say "West Virginia.  That's my home town."



[Chorus:]

Take me back to West V-A

Take me back to Charleston

It's them doggone busy city streets

That I'm ridin' to get far from

Ridin' to a small town

Ridin' to a small town

Take me back to Massachusetts

Take me back to Cape Cod

It's them doggone big ol' city buildings

I'm ridin' to escape from

Ridin' to a small town

Ridin' to a small town



[B. Stille]

Yo, uh, ridin' past beautiful cow fields

Top down see how the air feels

I see trees that was here before me

Seem like each one's telling a story

I just wanna go hit the local bar

Where the owner's fat and smoke cigars

Where country girls attracted me

Like everybody works in a factory

Where they ship they goods to bigger places

A city lights just could never replace this

Where high school sports is what we live for

Hit the lotto and next week you still poor

In a small town



[Chorus:]

Take me back to West V-A

Take me back to Charleston

It's them doggone busy city streets

That I'm ridin' to get far from

Ridin' to a small town

Ridin' to a small town

Take me back to Massachusetts

Take me back to Cape Cod

It's them doggone big ol' city buildings

I'm ridin' to escape from

Ridin' to a small town

Ridin' to a small town



[Ron Clutch]

They say the whole damn world is country

Small town livin', not a porch monkey

Dirt road and gravel, anywhere you travel

Mechanic is the sheriff is the judge with the gavel

Everybody cousin, cuz everybody kin

Piggly Wiggly one school everybody friends

From high school football to family reunions

Movin' at the speed of life drunk by noon and

That's my uncle, I know everybody got one

Freaky-ass white girl, daddy got a shotgun

Fly through the town, ya blink ya might miss it

City slicker in the country wish you come visit



Come on down, come on down

Come on down, come on down



Lil' Yuk, what you think about that right there?



[Lil' Yuk]

Like, man, uh, I like North Carolina.

I like Kentucky, Tennessee, like...

I don't wanna, I wanna see something important and take a right and right there at it

I don't like all that traffic.

I like to get where I'm going

I like people with things on they man like,

"Let's have a good time, let's sit on the porch."

That's what I was telling my homeboy Plump down in Duluth.

You know, in Georgia

We was gonna kick it and do it way big.

He always show us around at the office

And like why you go to the office?

I'm like "Man it's some real people comin' from a small town."

And that's where I'm from.

And that's where I do rappin'

That's Nappy Roots.

That's Fish Scales, and that's Clutch

an that's B. Stille and that's Skinny Deville, that's V

That's, that's history, man

You know when you from the country everything's cool, you know

Give us a front porch, give us a thing of Patron and give us

you know a few Corona, a Red Stripe.

You know, things like that

Budweiser if ya money's low.

But we gonna have a good time, man

we comin from a small town.

Bowling Green, Kentucky

Milledgeville, Georgia.

You know thangs like that

I like Keepwater (??) Mississippi, you know, Florida

All them places like that, small town

Still love for LA and Chicago, but when I wanna kick I wanna be in a small town



[Chorus:]

Take me back to West V-A

Take me back to Charleston

It's them doggone busy city streets

That I'm ridin' to get far from

Ridin' to a small town

Ridin' to a small town

Take me back to Massachusetts

Take me back to Cape Cod

It's them doggone big ol' city buildings

I'm ridin' to escape from

Ridin' to a small town

Ridin' to a small town
