I was born in a small town
But I′m livin' in a big town
They gave me a top hat and cane
In trade for a shady lane
Well, I′ll give you back your big town
If you'll give me back a small town
Keep your top hats and canes,
Give me those prairies and plains.
If I had one wish to make
This is the wish I would choose,
I'd want An Old Straw Hat
And a worn out pair of shoes.
