  • 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 workin' hard and livin' right
    Is the only life we know

    Friday night football is king
    Sweet tea goes good with anything
    Fireflies come out when the sun goes down
    Nobody eats till you say Amen
    And everybody knows your mama's name
    You can see who loves who from miles around
    In a water tower town

    Well your friends a friend
    And your words your word
    And our pick-up trucks
    They ain't for lookers they're made for work
    Corn grows high, crime stays low
    There's little towns everywhere where everybody knows

    Friday night football is king
    Sweet tea goes good with anything
    And the girls come out
    When the sun goes down
    Nobody eats till you say Amen
    And everybody knows your mama's name
    You can see who loves who from miles around
    In a water tower town

    Yeah, Friday night football is king
    Sweet tea goes good with anything
    Peace and quiet makes such a beautiful sound
    Nobody eats till you say Amen,
    And everybody knows your mama's name
    You can see who loves who from miles around
    In a water tower town
    Yeah, in a water tower town Writer/s: Cole Swindell, Lynn Hutton, Tami Kidd-Hutton
