Saw a Cadillac for the first time yesterday I'd always seen horses, buggies, bales of hay `Cause progress here don't move with modern times There's nothing to steal So there's not a great deal of crime It sure is hell living in a one horse town There's half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground Nothing much doing of an afternoon Unless you're sitting in a rocking chair just picking a tune And they ain't too well acquainted with the stars and stripes But if you want to hear Susanna then they'll pick all night They'll pick all night `Cause it's no dice living in a one horse town Laid back, as my old coon hound And I just can't wait to get out of this one horse town There's nothing to steal `cause there's simply nothing much around Sure is hell living in this one horse town There's half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground And I just can't wait to grow out of this one horse town There's nothing to steal `cause there's nothing much around

O tema foi o título e a primeira single do álbum de mesmo nome de Elton John, seu 23º álbum.
Foi lançado em maio de 1992 pela gravadora The Rocket Record Company.
A composição contou com a parceria de Elton John e o letrista Bernie Taupin, como em muitas de suas colaborações.
No DVD da apresentação *Live in Barcelona*, John revelou que sentiu uma ligação intensa com as letras de Taupin, especialmente com a linha “for each man in his time is Cain until he walks along the beach”.
Essa linha reflete as circunstâncias pessoais de John na época de gravação, mostrando a profundidade emocional que ambos trouxeram para a canção.
O trecho mencionado foi destacado nas imagens bônus do DVD, evidenciando a importância da música no contexto do concerto ao vivo.
