      C     G         F         G
Well, I was born in a small town,
C     G         F         G
and I live in a small town
C        G        Am
Probably die in a small town;
         Dm           G
Oh those small communities

C      G              F         G
All my friends are so small town
C          G           F              G
My parents live in the same small town
C  G         Am
My job is so small town,
         Dm              G
provides little opportunity

C G F  G x2

C        G    F         G
Educated in a small town;
C                  G          F         G
taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
C          G     Am
Used to daydream in that small town;
 Dm                             G
another boring romantic, that's me

         C       G        F         G
But I've seen it all in a small town;
C            G         F         G
had myself a ball in a small town
C           G                        Am
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town;
          Dm                   G
now she's small town just like me

     F         C                 F              C
No I cannot forget from where it is that I come from,
     F              C          G
I cannot forget the people who love me
            F    C         F             C
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town,
    F             C              G
and people let me be just what I wanna be

C            G        F       G
Got nothing against a big town;
C              G            F                         G
still hayseed enough to say look who's in the big town?
C      G           Am
But my bed is in a small town;
               Dm              G
Oh, and that's good enough for me

     C     G         F         G
Well I was born in a small town,
C         G            F         G
and I can breathe in a small town
C     G           Am
Gonna die in this small town;
           Dm                          G
and that's probably where they'll bury me
