Smalltown Lyrics

In a place that never changes

And everybody knows your name

You can walk the streets with strangers

But it always stays the same

It's the place where I was born

Feeling lonely, lost and torn

It's like the only choice you're given

Is to work or die or sin

In a Smalltown

In a Smalltown

In a Smalltown

Going down, down, down

As I watch the neon signs when I visit city streets

It's the place that I can come to

Where I can live out all my dreams

Riding down the desert road

Back home again I go

But the future's hard to find

I guess some of us have to try

I hear a child he cries with deception in his eyes

He's fighting for his rights to be heard with all his might

We're born free temporarily and pay to die for eternity

But we make our bed and lie in it

And I'll be staying without a tear
