[Verse 1]
In a water tower town everybody waves
Church doors are the only thing that's open on Sundays
Word travels fast, wheels turn slow
Yeah working hard and living right is the only life we know

[Chorus]
Friday night football is king
Sweet tea goes good with anything
The fireflies come out when the sun goes down
Nobody eats until you say Amen
And everybody knows your mom and them
You can see who loves who for miles around
In a water tower town

[Verse 2]
Where your friend's a friend and your word's your word
And our pickup trucks, they ain't for looks, they're made for work
Corn grows high, crime stays low
There's little towns everywhere where everybody knows

[Chorus]
Friday night football is king
Sweet tea goes good with anything
And the girls come out when the sun goes down
Nobody eats until you say Amen
And everybody knows your mom and them
You can see who loves who for miles around
In a water tower town

[Chorus]
Yeah, Friday night football is king
Sweet tea goes good with anything
Peace and quiet make such a beautiful sound
Nobody eats until you say Amen
And everybody knows your mom and them
You can see who loves who for miles around
In a water tower town

[Outro]
Yeah, in a water tower town

Scotty McCreery

Scotty McCreery is an American country singer-songwriter from Garner, North Carolina. After winning the tenth season of American Idol, his debut single, “I Love You This Big”, hit number 11 on the Hot 100. His debut album Clear as Day was then released on October 4, 2011 and topped the Billboard 200. He became the first Idol winner to top the albums chart with his debut release since Ruben Studdard did it in 2003 with Soulful. He also became the youngest artist to debut at number one with their first album and the first country artist to do so as well. Clear as Day went platinum in the US and has sold more than 1.1 million copies there.

See You Tonight was released on October 15, 2013 as McCreery’s third album; it followed a 2012 Christmas album. Despite peaking at number six on the Billboard 200 and featuring McCreery’s first two singles to place in the top ten on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, See You Tonight was less successful than Clear as Day. McCreery was dropped by his label, Mercury Nashville, in 2016. A year later, McCreery self-released the single, “Five More Minutes”, which became his first song to top country radio. That same year, McCreery signed with Triple Tigers Records, and a year later, he released his fourth studio album, Seasons Change, which produced two more number one radio singles.
