Small Town Boy

Though not self-written, this Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip and Kyle Fishman penned rocker is biographical. At the chorus it becomes a love song. She's my with-me-to-the-end girl, my turn-it-up-to-10 girl She can have anybody that she wants or be anywhere she wants to be She loves a small town boy like me Lynch said: "I grew up in the small town of Tullahoma, Tennessee, and that town made me who I am. It's somewhere I long to always go back to and visit … my family is still there. So this song reminds me of my hometown and what true love really is - and that's being in love with the real in somebody and not the fake."

Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip are lifelong friends who along with Dallas Davidson form the Peach Pickers. Kyle Fishman is a young writer in Nashville who works primarily in building audio tracks. Fishman is signed to a deal with Dallas Davidson, who introduced him to his Peach Pickers colleagues hoping they would click.

It was Hayslip who had the original idea for a song titled "Small Town Boy Like Me," and he started singing the bones of his idea over Fishman's contemporary sounding track. Hayslip told Taste of Country that he and Akins drew the "Small Town Boy" lyrics straight from their own experiences and within a couple of hours they'd completed the song and come up with a demo. "It's kinda two worlds meeting," Hayslip reflected. "Kyle's a young, 20-something kid from California, and me and Rhett grew up in South Georgia. We've been that kid in that song. We've been a small town boy. So it's just two worlds coming together to make something really cool."
