I turned on the TV, saw your face tonight
You're a big star now, shining so bright
But do you ever think of this one-stoplight place
Where you learned those humble ways with grace
You're out there living in that fast-paced world
Pictures in the papers, flashing lights swirled
But don't forget the fields and the simple tunes
That played beneath our small town moons
Oh, you're famous now, but don't let it fade
Pictures in the papers, flashing lights swirled
But don't forget the fields and the simple tunes
That played beneath our small town moons
Oh, you're famous now, but don't let it fade
All those old values that our mama made
Remember us here, where the corn still grows
In this town where life moves slow
Saw Dad on the TV, a proud tear in his eye
He raised you right, taught you how to fly
But he hopes you remember where you belong
In his heart and in this country song
Money and fame might change your style
But we hope you're still that small-town child
With a heart of gold and two steady hands
Knowing fame ain't worth what real love demands
Oh, you're famous now, but don't let it fade
Pictures in the papers, flashing lights swirled
But don't forget the fields and the simple tunes
That played beneath our small town moons
Oh, you're famous now, but don't let it fade
All those old values that our mama made
Remember us here, where the corn still grows
In this town where life moves slow
