Just a high school kid with a strong arm From throwing them rocks at an old barn Got a full-ride shot, gonna be a star No, it don't take much Now he's got that old town facing All the dreams that they quit chasing Rusty chains are breaking No, it don't take much It don't take much, A little gasoline, A couple wildfire dreams, light 'em up No, it don't take much, Just the end of a rope, Something you can hold and climb up If you wanna be more than just where you came from, Lord, it don't much No, it don't take much Just one more junior prom queen She saw herself shining on a movie screen But got knocked up at seventeen No, it don't take much Went from raising hell to a baby girl From chasing bright lights to chasing curls
One midnight move can change the world No, it don't take much It don't take much Have one too many And before you're ready, you're under the gun No, it don't take much, Just one fast idea Can lie and cheat ya outta being young One drop of rain can turn into a flood Lord, it don't take much No, it don't take much Oh, it don't take much, A little gasoline, A couple wildfire dreams, light 'em up No, it don't take much, Just the end of a rope, Something you can hold and climb up If you wanna be more than just where you came from, Lord, it don't much Oh, it don't take much I've seen it all in my town Some fly away and some fall down The way it go, one thing I found Is that it don't take much
