Stronger than Anyone

Grew up in a small town
Just south of Georgia's big city lights
Were never expected much
Graduate, get married, live a settled life
There were those big homes
We all sit and wonder who owns
The town's kings
All won State on the football team

From far away
It seems silly to think
That we're all okay
Going slow on our one main road
But we took in this southern air
Smelt the pines and the county fair
Grew us up to be stronger than anyone

We're the underdogs
But we come home after work
Feed the dogs and cook some dinner
Kiss our families hello
We're just the underdogs
No one ever expected much of us
But we grew up in this small town covered in red mud
Grew up stronger than anyone

Took the bus to school
Down an old gravel road
Unpaved but still our way home
When the bell would ring
Some of us rode in big trucks
Parked on the back line
Of the high school and at lunch time
We all wanted to be sitting outside

From far away
It seems silly to think
That we're all okay
Going slow on our one main road
But we took in this southern air
Smelt the pines and the county fair
Grew us up to be stronger than anyone

We're the underdogs
But we come home after work
Feed the dogs and cook some dinner
Kiss our families hello
We're just the underdogs
No one ever expected much of us
But we grew up in this small town covered in red mud
Grew up stronger than anyone

I left here after graduation
Expecting big dreams
Wanted to live out my future
In bars singing
You left for baseball
But came back here and found me
I guess all this smalltown
Made us meant to be

We're the underdogs
But we come home after work
Feed the dogs and cook some dinner
Kiss our families hello
We're just the underdogs
No one ever expected much of us
But we grew up in this small town covered in red mud
Grew up stronger than anyone
