Lyrics Small Town - John Mellencamp

Small Town

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 a same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity, hey!
Educated in a small town
Taught to fear Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
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, 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 a small town
Ah, that’s prob’ly where they’ll bury me
