Small Town Boy
Well he wore my name in a tatoo on his arm, And in a tender voice he said he'd wait for me, Yeah you're dreams are bigger than some red dirt farms, But the gra*s on the other side aint always green. Then, I, said good bye, and on those silver wings he let me fly, Well I gave him a kiss but I would not give my heart, To a small town boy, Heaven forbid that I'd ever miss the arms, Of a small town boy. Now the south bound wheels on this gray hound bus, Can't carry me home fast enough, Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love, Of a small town boy. Has he found a warmer touch or a pretty face? Does he lay with her down where the lilacs grow? Oh those city boys could never take his place, Will I find the humble words to tell him so? Can, I, turn back time? Does a fool deserve the right to change her mind? Well I gave him a kiss but I would not give my heart, To a small town boy, Heaven forbid that I'd ever miss the arms, Of a small town boy. Now the south bound wheels on this gray hound bus, Can't carry me home fast enough, Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love, Of a small town boy. I miss the little things, Like the summer heat, the fire flies, dancein slow on a stary night, When I was the apple of his eye. Let me still be the apple of his eye, Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love, Well I got off track wont you help me win back the love, Of a small town boy. Small town boy, Small town boy, Small town boy.
