[Lil Yuk]
|
Boy say to me, he say, "Ay Yuk! What's yo favorite city?"
|
And I say "West Virginia. That's my home town."
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Take me back to West V-A
|
Take me back to Charleston
|
It's them doggone busy city streets
|
That I'm ridin' to get far from
|
Ridin' to a small town
|
Ridin' to a small town
|
Take me back to Massachusetts
|
Take me back to Cape Cod
|
It's them doggone big ol' city buildings
|
I'm ridin' to escape from
|
Ridin' to a small town
|
Ridin' to a small town
|
|
[B. Stille]
|
Yo, uh, ridin' past beautiful cow fields
|
Top down see how the air feels
|
I see trees that was here before me
|
Seem like each one's telling a story
|
I just wanna go hit the local bar
|
Where the owner's fat and smoke cigars
|
Where country girls attracted me
|
Like everybody works in a factory
|
Where they ship they goods to bigger places
|
A city lights just could never replace this
|
Where high school sports is what we live for
|
Hit the lotto and next week you still poor
|
In a small town
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Take me back to West V-A
|
Take me back to Charleston
|
It's them doggone busy city streets
|
That I'm ridin' to get far from
|
Ridin' to a small town
|
Ridin' to a small town
|
Take me back to Massachusetts
|
Take me back to Cape Cod
|
It's them doggone big ol' city buildings
|
I'm ridin' to escape from
|
Ridin' to a small town
|
Ridin' to a small town
|

[Ron Clutch]
|
They say the whole damn world is country
|
Small town livin', not a porch monkey
|
Dirt road and gravel, anywhere you travel
|
Mechanic is the sheriff is the judge with the gavel
|
Everybody cousin, cuz everybody kin
|
Piggly Wiggly one school everybody friends
|
From high school football to family reunions
|
Movin' at the speed of life drunk by noon and
|
That's my uncle, I know everybody got one
|
Freaky-ass white girl, daddy got a shotgun
|
Fly through the town, ya blink ya might miss it
|
City slicker in the country wish you come visit
|
|
Come on down, come on down
|
Come on down, come on down
|
|
Lil' Yuk, what you think about that right there?
|
|
[Lil' Yuk]

Like, man, uh, I like North Carolina.
|
I like Kentucky, Tennessee, like...
|
I don't wanna, I wanna see something important and take a right and right there at it
|
I don't like all that traffic.
|
I like to get where I'm going
|
I like people with things on they man like,
|
"Let's have a good time, let's sit on the porch."
|
That's what I was telling my homeboy Plump down in Duluth.
|
You know, in Georgia
|
We was gonna kick it and do it way big.
|
He always show us around at the office
|
And like why you go to the office?
|
I'm like "Man it's some real people comin' from a small town."
|
And that's where I'm from.
|
And that's where I do rappin'
|
That's Nappy Roots.
|
That's Fish Scales, and that's Clutch
|
an that's B. Stille and that's Skinny Deville, that's V
|
That's, that's history, man
|
You know when you from the country everything's cool, you know
|
Give us a front porch, give us a thing of Patron and give us
|
you know a few Corona, a Red Stripe.
|
You know, things like that
|
Budweiser if ya money's low.
|
But we gonna have a good time, man
|

|
Bowling Green, Kentucky
|
Milledgeville, Georgia.
|
You know thangs like that
|

Still love for LA and Chicago, but when I wanna kick I wanna be in a small town
|
|
[Chorus:]
|

|
Take me back to Charleston

It's them doggone busy city streets
|

|
Ridin' to a small town
|
Ridin' to a small town
|
