Dylan Scott Levels Up With New Single ‘Nothing to Do Town’ [Listen]
Dylan Scott's small town confessional might become the easiest radio hit of 2019. "Nothing to Do Town" is familiar country statement made fresh with original production.
The Louisiana native levels up on this first song from his next studio album. Some of the hard-to-love grit of his early songs is gone, replaced by a much better mix of vocals, guitar and percussion. Scott is becoming something of a mainstream country thoroughbred in the way Billy Currington has done for years. Slowly his style adapts but he always has the pulse of what radio is looking for.
Cole Taylor and Matt Alderman helped Scott write "Nothing to Do Town," a song he correctly says sounds nothing like anything on his last album. It's not a big leap from old music to new, it's just that with help from a trio of producers, he's found a new way to stay fresh.
Did You Know?: Scott's Nothing to Do Town Tour with Seth Ennis will begin on Jan. 17.

Dylan Scott's "Nothing to Do Town" Lyrics:
It ain't New York City / And it ain't L.A. / We ain't got no rooftop bars / Like they do on Broadway / It's just a little town square middle of nowhere / Ain't even big enough to be a map dot / We ain't got a lot but we sure do a lot / With the little bit that we got.
Chorus:
We got a little something, something we can throw on ice / Find us somewhere that we can drink it while the moon's up high / With your girl and your boys by the fire making noise / In a field on a Friday night / We got some George Strait songs that we turn up loud / Living it up til the sun comes back around / Who said there's nothing to do, who said there's nothing to do / Who said there's nothing to do in this nothing to do town.
Yeah our way of living, no it ain't complicated / Don't knock it til you try it, yeah you might not hate it / Around here we work and we play, cuss and we pray / And at the end of a long hard day.
We got a little something, something we can throw on ice / Find us somewhere that we can drink it while the moon's up high / With your girl and your boys by the fire making noise / In a field on a Friday night / We got some Brooks & Dunn songs that we turn up loud / Living it up til the sun comes back around / Who said there's nothing to do, who said there's nothing to do / Who said there's nothing to do in this nothing to do town.
We got a little something, something we can throw on ice / Find us somewhere that we can drink it while the moon's up high / With your girl and your boys by the fire making noise / In a field on a Friday night / We got some Tim McGraw songs that we turn up loud / Living it up til the sun comes back around / Who said there's nothing to do, who said there's nothing to do / Who said there's nothing to do in this nothing to do town.
