Small Town lyrics by John Mellencamp
Well, I was born in a small townAnd I live in a small town
Probably die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live
in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Hey
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus
in a small town
Used to daydream
in that small town
Another boring
romantic, that's me
But I've seen it all
in a small town
Had myself a ball
in a small town
Married an LA doll and
brought her to this small town
Now she's small town
just like me
No, I cannot forget from
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
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
"Look who's in the big town"
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's
good enough for me
Well, I was born in a small town
And I can breathe
in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's probably
where they'll bury me
