I grew up in a small town
A wheat-fields-for-a-downtown kind of place
There was really not much around
You blink and you miss it
I never knew what life would bring
But I always had big dreams
I’d love to play my guitar and sing
And every night I’d wish that
I’d get a shot on the Opry stage
And have people come and see me play
Blastin’ on the radio waves
Enough to make my mama cry

That’s where I come from
That’s who I am
Hard-workin’ and God-blessed
Yes sir, and thank you ma’am
The best things around that I have ever seen
Came from small towns
