2003-07-26 11:12:58 ET you live in the town where your grandparents are buried down the street from the hospital where you were born One town over you eat dinner in the same hall your parents danced on their wedding night. At the church bazzar you know every face Counting the mullets and teeny boppers Proud of your town never walk the streets at night Even though there's only tow, you know the best Pizza joint in town. Wanderlust growing, you wonder how you could ever leave SmallTown America, Hometown Vibes Big City Jitters. I could live here with you get a house on the outskirts drive into town for Ice Cream with the kids work with the Church Council lead our respective scout troops see our daughter dance in that same hall come back for the buffet next Friday Learn everyone's face, shake everyone's hand in Small Town America, A safe home a safe distance from the City Wouldn't take long, though till the cabin-fever you felt as a child would force me to leave I'd know what the Boss meant in all those "born to Run" songs But I'd stay with you, in spirit and in love, in that Small Town Amereica, with my hometown girl, and my Big City dreams. |
