If I was a small town girl

If I was a small town girl

I would dream big and live small

I would watch the sun come up every day

while I ride my bike over the cobblestones,

along the same way.

I wouldn’t be an empty soul in a faceless crowd

I’ll live and laugh out loud

I wouldn’t get lost in the success chase

not compare myself to every shadow I meet

Everyone around me will know my name;

remember my face.

If I was a small town girl

I would wish to escape to the big city

wish life happened to me

dream that I walk through the city that never sleeps

But never fathom how lonely life can be

If you’re a small town girl

I hope you’ll never be me.
