Well I walk these city streets alone
Not knowing where I'm going
But man I sure can tell you
Where I've been

I'm a thousand miles away
From where I was born and raised
Just another small town
In the Heartland

Where everybody knows your name
And every single day
It's living the easy way of life
Family and all your friends
Everyday you cherish them
Never letting one day pass you by
This is what I've found to be
The simple way of life

My daddy was a roughneck
Just like his father before him
He handed down the values
That makes up this man
He said, in this world you live
Never forget to give
And always remember where you come from

Solo
Repeat Chorus
