[Verse 1]
Yeah, we proud of that name painted up on that water tower
And that red dirt on the bottom of our boots
And this place runs thirty-five miles an hour
And that hard work runs in our roots

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we're all just backbone blue collar people
Burning that Texaco black smoke diesel

[Chorus]
Yeah, we're keeping it small town, keeping it slow
Keep that dust stirred up on them old dirt roads
Yeah, we keeping them girls up in them shotgun seats
Got that good stuff waitin' on the end of the week
It's the way we were raised and we ain't changin' now
You can find us sun up to sundown, yeah
Just keeping it small town
We're keeping it small town

[Verse 2]
Yeah, we just trying to be 'bout half good as our daddies
Still trying to make a name of our own
Find a little girl you can roll with and ride with
And make a good life with and love her 'til you're gone

[Chorus]
We're just keeping it small town, keeping it slow
Keep that dust stirred up on them old dirt roads
Yeah, we keeping them girls up in them shotgun seats
Got that good stuff waitin' on the end of the week
It's the way we were raised and we ain't changing now
You can find us sun up to sundown, yeah
Just keeping it small town
We're keeping it small town

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we're all just backbone blue collar people
Burning that Texaco black smoke diesel

[Chorus]
Yeah, we're keeping it small town, keeping it slow
Keep that dust stirred up on them old dirt roads
Yeah, we keeping them girls up in them shotgun seats
Got that good stuff waitin' on the end of the week
It's the way we were raised and we ain't changing now
You can find us sun up to sun down, yeah
Just keeping it small town
We're just keeping it small town

Jason Aldean

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
