John Mellencamp Small Town Lyrics

Small Town Lyrics

Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Prob'ly 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

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 L.A. doll and
brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me

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

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 prob'ly where they'll bury me
