My hometown has two stoplights, 1 grocery store and I graduated with the biggest class ever - 50. I miss knowing everyone I saw, them knowing me. Hated it as a child trying to grow, miss it desperately as an adult longing for familiarity in a world grown too big.

can't say i live in a small town, or live in a town you can go through town in less than thirty seconds. yall might call me a city slicker then, but when good music like this brings a bunch of good old boys who love the outdoors more than anyone around, get together on weekends having bonfires, bowfishing, and spending time together shooting and telling stories, id say that's what the artist intentions was in the first place. everyone can relate to it from the sticks to the lamp posts.

I feel you, friend. Grew up in a big city, moved to a small town at 16, left after i graduated with a class of 27, and I've missed it like crazy... Man, i can still smell the fresh cut pine comin from the mill... I will return someday... I wish you the best.

Brantly Gilbert is exactly what country music needs right now with all of the "country" music on the radio people think they like coun try because they listen to keith urban and taylor swift, this right here is real country

@GoldenPig2012 We were 12 in our graduating class. We also have two stoplights and one grocery store. More than half the restaurants take cash only, and thats fine by us. We spend our money on gas and food. The bartender at ''the beaver'' knows you, and you know him. You dont go to the bar to act like a fool, you go to have a good time. We have one police car that patrols at night, and 2 during the day. We know every police officer in town. Its a great place to be, whats left of this small town.

@bamakid0123 Actually I really did have 9 people in my graduating class. Fossil, Oregon. High school had a total of 35 kids grades 7-12. Town population in around 450 people. If you think I am lying, I really do not care. Plus, calling someone out on how many people were in their graduating class seems petty, but if that's how you like to act then so be it. Have a great day bamakid0123

@whiskeydrinker24 really 9? i think im call bullshit on that one... you dont have to lie cause i doubt anyone cares how many people was in your senior class.

I grew up in a town with no stoplights and I graduated with a class of 9. You definitely don't miss it until you aren't there anymore. I will always call it home
