Small Town
By John Cougar Mellencamp
x4
Well I was born in a smalltown
and I live in a smalltown
Pro’bly die in a smalltown
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
x2
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
BRIDGE:
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 wanna be

(Finger picking lightly for 2 bars)
(Very lightly thru last 2 verses)
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
(ramp it up again)
