Anderson, John - Small Town Lyrics

I've seen the dark side of small towns and you can have them. Too much bullshit in a small town especially for a quiet guy like me who goes his own way instead of living by other people's standards.

Old school he's good your in our hearts

Left a small town when i was seventeen came back when i was thirty five im fifty five now i should never have left in the furst place

what a good song

i love old country .now i need hard rock...yuppies fuckd up country music

Obama 2020!

Forgan, Oklahoma

My hometown ( pop. 616 ) ...small town but great memories...still listening to John in 2019..…

Went to a country music dance hall /bar and John Anderson was performing there that night I was front row standing the whole time what a awesome talent , amazing how it seems he was always over looked , great song writer as well ,

The people that dislike this song should just go to hell wtf are you listening to ? Nothing here to dislike

Look up his song called Look Away by John Anderson. You will like it.

That must be his family at the end.

Between 2 corn fields 2 stoplights growing up on Hank Williams. This is real COUNTRY music.

Hard working people.

Dam he's good

can you marry me cause your hot

I've primarily lived in the suburban south (Memphis, Tn and Jackson, MS, metros) but there is something that absolutely speaks to my southern soul in this song!

god this sort of song is missing in modern music.....nostalgic for sure

A reminder of better times. Once again, good Christian country folk can't be passive. Have God and family in your heart, a gun on your side, and if you see something that doesn't jive with the 10 commandments, all stand up with your palm on your holster and say, " No Sir! Not in my town!"

when country was country

Love the old songs bring back remember s

What a great country sound....!

Why is this song not available on I tunes or Apple music ?
Bloody ridiculous 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

📢He is a legend...ppl don't know shit bout real country if they don't realize that💪🤠

My dad grew up in a small town and his dad grew up in a small town it was so little you cud not even see it

John is best country in my ear, I love him

I grew up in a place like this, then oil moved in and turned it into a dump. Everything oil touches turns to trash not fit for decent people to raise children..

I'm from a small southern town off old 61 hwy, and my kids are growing up in a even smaller town.

At times because of the current times, I wish I could stay forever in my small town moment when I'd wake up in Greeley, Colorado, and see the sun shining in through the window and at the same time, I could hear eggs frying. My grandma who raised me would be up early cooking. God I miss her so!

Catch the rest

My home,Woodfin NC,,I love you.

Love you John....from Colorado ✌

Looking forward to Pittsburgh, PA 2019

United corporate States of America has infected has infected most the the smallest towns in America. there's no way small businesses can compete with these corporate entities.
This corporate fascism. but we have no choice the owners/ bankers, want this.

God bless you all who still love true country music

New city Illinois just a stop sign!

Thanks all the folks who voted for Prez Trump, he's keeping promises.

like I said before sweet sweet sweet voice and amazing music

The little boy sitting on the mailbox is just too darn cute.

This man sounds so darn good! Saw him in concert at the Martinsville Speedway a few years ago and he sounded like the first time he recorded a single. Thank you John for this memory for me and my hubby. Enjoyed this concert at the Martinsville Speed way in Martinsville, VA

This video reminds me of that day in Forbestown day's when we were looking in that small chapel church and you grabbed my hand and started singing 'that song' and the guy standing next to us was really a preacher and offered his service's, lol!!

I love country music

Where did great country singers like John go????? This is a real country song, not that pop crap that masquerades as country music today.

The certain people you don't have to look at in this video is why these small towns are still a nice place to live in

Living in Kansas City for nearly fifteen years makes me miss living in Clearview.. a quiet, beautiful town. Perhaps moving back won't be a bad idea

Love your songs and voice, John. One of a kind!

just discovered this man, he is wonderfull

I live in Spain but never hear country ,

Lovely song

I miss john Anderson . He was 1 of a kind.

LOVE HIS MUSIC HAVE FOR YEARS NOBODY LIKE HIM THAT IS FOR SURE

I grew up with this stuff many years ago, living on my foster parents farm and will always love it. My foster dad played the mandolin and bluegrass...Have loved the music ever since. Im covered in tattoo's and not what most expect when they think of "country boys" but Ill take this old country over anything..any day.

Apparently there are some special people who were in the video... John follows me on Instagram, does that count?

I wish I knew where those people are now...

my old lady actually believed they rolled up the side walks at dark when she was a little girl. I love you girl.

Howdy all y'all brothers and sisters.....listen a Country song like this....makes me wonder how much i may thank GOD, To be from South.

Carlos Vieira amen brother

Lets talk about his brilliant guitar playing he makes me pick up my Stratocaster and plug it into my Marshall and lets look at where those Lyrics come from Deep inside the Heart of a Man with a Genius manor of getting the Facts of Life Together in a Song .

I owe this one to my boy Kyle Betinbrock!! I miss you brother!! And I probably spelled it wrong Mr Arizona... Lol.. look me up brother!!

Great great song! I'm a metal head but I love good country too!

Somebody rescue me from this hell up north! please come get me out of here!

Go cuz u sing that country song

John Anderson is my cousin he don't know me though I wasn't born when he knew my mammal

I think I know everyone in this video. Nothing better than small town livin’. ❤️

You know Darcey?

Love this song,  brings back memories of the good old days.  I guess you have to be from a small town to understand and appreciate stories behind this kind of music.  I will never get tired of listening to this music.

My heart belongs in the south and a small town.

John Anderson is Legend, folks.

I grew up in a small town. My wife grew up in an even smaller town. All of my kids are growing up in my small town, as are my grandchildren. Thanks dear Lord for small towns.

Amen and amen

That's awesome... Everyone came bought my entire little town up. I can't even show my kids anything

John Anderson is true Country!

I wish this video would've been shot in his hometown of Apopka, Fl.

Ain't nary a soul in Tampa knows anything about Country.

This Man IS a Country singer, and sings the TRUTH only. Need about 50 more just like him. God bless his entire family.

John Anderson is such a good singer love all of his songs saw him at lake winnapasakah in Chattanooga TN many years ago

Brilliant..........FLA Born & Bred............Real Deal Mr. Anderson

New Middletown, In the sign hung past town limit. Great place to grow up.

I love how his voice seems to do volume swells.

I just love that little guitar riff in this song

John Has A Very Unique..** Love His Voice & The Fame Or Money Didn't change Him At All..** You
Know It is John Anderson As soon as His Music & That Voice..** All I Can say is I Wish We Had Pure Country Music
As HIs Voice Never Changed..** A Fan Always..** CAB**

I was playing this in the truck one day and a buddy said he'd heard the voice before and when I told him who it was he remembered. He had been at a hay ride near Apopka Fl and a guy with a guitar hopped on and started playing for them. No pay, no big announcement. He just played, and it was John Anderson.

rp9876 p Thats because folks like John Anderson dont care 'bout money but they would give you the shirt off of their back if you needed it because they genuinely care about you.

sounds about rite, i live n south fl, everglades, he's been nothing but wonderful 2 us, will love him forever!

Just "REAL Folks"

I generations in Tampa Florida(settling here 2 years before it formed). My family has seen it go from orange groves and cattle, to where it is today. Unfotunately I was born long after it was a small town but us old Tampa folks have a different culture than the new folks. We are southern and we talk southern, and we have all had connections to the cattle and citrus industry, some still own some. I am getting back into the industry so I have to leave Tampa, but It will always hold a large part of my heart.

Tampa has change so much from b n kid n the 60 , i wont even go dwn thr ,

To think, we're the target of blame these days! I miss Rural America, things were much simpler when I was growing up!

Does anyone know who that tall dark haired chic is holding the little boy? Her beauty is mesmerizing!

Love this song...!!!

u wont never find any other real country music like this thats why i never get tired of yet that pop contry it dont cut it it makes me sick put jhon anderson on i give u a big fat smile 👂👏❤😄

God Bless small towns.........alot better morals. Hollywood has no idea...!!!!

that's country music, please country music, come back home--BajaDave

I Love John Anderson...........He was on the tail-end of of real country. He makes really good music...!!!

This is definitely my town , it's so small its considered a village instead of a city

Love his music & definitely his voice

Every country video before the year 2000, "this is country music, I miss this kind of country, etc".

I live in a small town now I would never move back to the city

Exploring an bottle collecting with Jimmy im not saying i live in a small town. However we are outnumbered by cattle

33 yrs in small town, 100 mile house. B.C. Never give it up for nothin

Had the great opportunity to see him in small town Springfield Ga, and what a Great event it was. Always one of my favorites still to this day. hope to see you again soon sir,and thank you.

Great song.
Living strong in a small town in Tennessee for about 30 years now.

agenda 21, no more small town...

the 40 people who dislike are justin moore fans

Milford, Delaware

My dad is from Milsboro... Beautiful area up there. He left in the middle of a snow storm cause he hated the cold so much.

..and we all support the team

This man is a legend!! Love him, his voice. No other voice like him. The 39 who disliked it probably like luke bryan.

some of his music is very good, some is too sappy, people should be able to say what they think, yes? J. Anderson, good entertainer.. not 100% who is?

Who the hell is Luke Bryan
