lyrics

ONE-HORSE TOWN w&m: bill mallonee

Shake off the dust ...of this one horse town
Get in the truck...let's cover some ground
This has been no promised land...& it's no hallowed ground
Shake off the dust...of this one horse town

Shake off the dust...as best you can
of the insults & rumors...and misunderstandings
close your ears to the murmurs...try and forget the frowns
Shake off the dust...of this one horse town

They'll throw mud on your name...they will call you "boy."
They will curse your God...They will steal your joy
'cause they're sad & afraid...and maybe hell bound
Shake off the dust...of this one horse town

Now, i've got a woman...with a heart of gold
i've got a guitar...and Jesus in my soul
This ain't no promised land...& it's no hallowed ground
Shake off the dust...of this one horse town
