Small Town Boy Lyrics

I left my home at seventeen

A one horse town I couldn't stand

Feelin' that joint was not for me

A place where dreamers couldn't dream

I headed for the promised land

And so I've traveled 'round the world

Europe, Asia, USA

The finest schools, the best paid jobs

Expensive houses, brand new cars

I guess it all has gone my way

But if you look at me and see some high brow urban achiever

Sweet talking big city slicker who keeps travelin' all over the world

Someone who's got a date in the evening and in the morning he will probably leave her

Then you should know I'm just a small town boy

And I'm in love with a small town girl

I guess I never understood

How much that small town meant to me

Like in that favorite song of mine

You can check out any time

But you can never really leave

The same old streets, the same old cars

The same old friends, the same old girls

It took me quite some time to see

All those things I tried to flee

They were the best things in the world

So if you look at me and see some high brow urban achiever

Sweet talking big city slicker who keeps travelin' all over the world

Someone who's got a date in the evening and in the morning he will probably leave her

Then you should know I'm just a small town boy

And I'm in love with a small town girl

Yeah, if you look at me and see some high brow urban achiever

Sweet talking big city slicker who keeps travelin' all over the world

Someone who's got a date in the evening and in the morning he will probably leave her

Then you should know I'm just a small town boy

And I'm in love with a small town girl

Yeah you should know I'm still a small town boy

And I'm in love with a small town girl
