The combination of political connections and free-thinking home life nurtured an environment of possibility that led Norton from the public schools in Osceola to Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where she earned a B.A. degree. Norton completed her M.A. at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa, which she attended before the development of a university nonfiction writing program. Norton submitted a creative thesis, a work of literary journalism, in the School of Mass Communications and Journalism. That piece of writing—One Horse Town—became the genesis of her book Hawk Flies Above: Journey to the Heart of the Sandhills (Picador USA/St. Martin’s Press).

In 1999, the band spent four months living in San Diego, during which time they wrote several of the tracks that would eventually appear on their debut album So Much for the City (such as "One Horse Town"). Upon returning to Dublin, they began writing and demoing more material, hoping to secure a record deal – which they soon did with local label Supremo Records, home of fellow Irish band Chicks.

" Similarly, Allmusic critic Thomas Ward describes the song as the singer asking Molly to put her gun down and "try to understand [her] man," and then portraying "an uplifting dream" to create a better life and achieve the American dream after traveling "across the great divide." Music critic Nick DeRiso comments on the "witty irony" of the situation. Band biographer Craig Harris agrees that it is an "optimistic" song, stating that it portrays "celebration and good times." Hoskyns states that the song appears to be set in a "one-horse town" common to Western movies, but that the "harvest moon" and riverside described in the lyrics place the song within the American South, like other songs from the album such as "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" and "King Harvest (Has Surely Come).

In Mark Twain's novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), Huck, Jim, "the king" and "the duke" crash a religious camp meeting in a town called Parkville, where "the king" lies to the crowd that he is an ex-pirate who was robbed and needs money to return to the Indian Ocean to convert other pirates to Christianity, for which a collection is taken from the crowd. This may actually be a fictitious town in Arkansas called Parkville, which Huck Finn describes as "a little one-horse town about three mile down the bend [of the Mississippi River]". In the Menagerie trilogy by Tui and Kari Sutherland, there was a menagerie in Parkville that was shut down due to it being exposed to the public.Twain, Mark, "Chapter XX: What Royalty Did to Parkville," in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1948, p. 167-170.
