Primary Source for Research

I chose the song "Small Town USA" by Justin Moore as my primary source.

I am only analyzing the lyrics, but if you want to watch the music video for this song, just click on the top image of the video bar to the right of this post. A window should pop up where you will be able to play it!

It takes a minute to load the video bar, and once it loads it will probably take another minute for the right stream of videos to pop up. Just don't watch the car commercial stream! It'll come! Sorry for any inconvenience!

In case you can't get the video to work, here are the lyrics that I am analyzing:

"Small Town USA"
by Justin Moore

A lot of people called it prison when I was growin up
But these are my roots and this is what I love
Cause everybody knows me and I know them
And I believe that's the way we were supposed to live
Wouldn't trade one single day here in small town USA

Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side
A little Hank Jr. and a six pack of light
Old dirt road and I'll be just fine
Give me a Sunday morning thats full of grace
A simple life and I'll be okay
Here in small town USA

Around here we break our backs just to earn a buck
We never get ahead but we have enough
I watch people leave and then come right back
I never wanted any part of that
I'm proud to say that I love this place
Good ole small town USA

Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side
David Allen Coe and I'll be just fine
Give me a Sunday morning that's full of grace
A simple life and I'll be okay
Here in small town USA
Oh yeah

I wouldn't trade on single day
I'm proud to say I love this place

Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side
Sweet Home Alabama and a six pack of light
Old dirt road and I'll be just fine
Give me a Sunday morning that's full of grace
A simple life and I'll be okay
Yeah, I'll be okay
Here in small town USA
