Small Town (Live)

[Verse 1]

Well, I was born in a small town

I live in a small town

Probably die in a small town

Oh, those small communities

[Verse 2]

All my friends are so small town

My parents live in the same small town

My job is so small town

Provides little opportunity (Hey)

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

Cannot forget the people who love me

I can be myself here in this small town

And people let me be just what I wanna be

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]

Got nothing against a big town

Man, I'm still hayseed enough to say, "Look who’s in the big town"

My bed is in a small town

Oh, that's good enough for me

[Verse 6]

I was born in a small town

And I can breathe in a small town

Probably die in a small town

Oh, that's probably where they'll bury me

[Outro]

One, two, three, four

Said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Say yeah, yeah, yeah

Say yeah

Thank you very much, I'm John Mellencamp

Now we're gonna be doing all kinds of songs for you folks tonight

We're gonna be doing some songs you know

Some songs you don't know

Some songs you can sing along with

And some songs you can dance to

We’re gonna be doing all kinds of songs tonight
