--- Start Of John Mellencamp Small Town Lyrics ---

Well I was born in a small town .. and I live in a small town
Probly 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 thats me
But Ive 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 shes 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

BREAK

Got nothing against a big town ... still hayseed enough to say look whos in the big town
But my bed is in a small town ... oh, and thats 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 thats probly where theyll bury me
