Small Town Heart
Seems like there's two different towns in the city that I come from
Though both reside in southern Indiana
One's the color of blood, and one's blue like a lake
We're nearly around town outside, east of the city
We completely knew this water
Our little county was growing up, just like the skyscraper of Manhattan
Yeah, that city grew tall, we grew holes in the ground
The city got a small town heart but big city eyes
You don't have to look too hard to see what is clearly in the light
I know how a small town heart speaks to these stars
But you know there ain't no stars in the city
You can't see stars in the city
You can only run so far, you'll always have a small town heart
Well, I dreamed of the west like most every young American
I headed east where I found and lost a girl
Nearly anywhere can be your home if you go and let it
But there's one place where you came into the world
Well, I got a small town heart but big city eyes
You don't have to look too hard to see what is clearly in the light
I know how a small town heart speaks to these stars
But you know there ain't no stars in the city
You can't see stars in the city
You can only run so far, you'll always have a small town heart
You can only run so far, you'll always have a small town heart
