On a windin' dirt back road

In the hills of Arkansas

In a little country farmhouse

With his mama and his pa

Lived a plain old plough boy

By the name of Colton Mall



He'd never took to farmin'

He had racin' in his blood

Hope and Will and Mighty Fine was the only stock he'd run

Had a local reputation

But for Colt that wasn't enough



To be the fastest horse in a one horse town

He leaves them all in the dust

On the fastest tracks around

He gets that fire in his eyes

And takes off like a gun

When the smoke clears

Someone in the crowd hollers 

"Son there goes the fastest horse in a one horse town"



He beat it to Daytona

The big boys laughed and said

Looks like they've turned a pack mule loose among these  thoroughbreds

Colt said, "This old mule's been places most blue bloods fear to  tread."

But a thousand left turns later

Foot still on the gas

The leader watched a car slip by 

And beat him to the flag

And painted on the trunk 

There were the words

"Boy you just been passed.

By the fastest horse in a one horse town."

He leaves them all in the dust 

On the fastest tracks around

And takes off like a gun

When the smoke clears

Someone in the crowd hollers

"Son, there goes the fastest horse in a one horse town."



He's the fastest horse in a one horse town

He leaves them all in the dust

On the fastest tracks around

He gets that fire in his eyes

And takes off like a gun

And when the smoke clears

Someone in the crowd hollers

"Son, there goes the fastest horse in a one horse town."
