VERSE 1
Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Probly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
VERSE 2
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
x2
VERSE 3
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic thats me
But Ive seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an l.a. doll and brought her to this small town
Now shes small town just like me
BRIDGE
No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
x2
lighty finger picker for 2 bars
lightly strumming)
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say look whos in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and thats good enough for me
VERSE 6
Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And thats probly where theyll bury me
