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
