Small Town Girl

Her mama hangs
The clothes on the line
Wearin' a smile
While she's doing it

Her daddy makes a living
One day at a time
For twenty-three years
He's come through with it

But she's seventeen
And dreams of so much more
Than a restless heart, a rusted-out car
And a job at the local food store

She's a small town girl
With big city dreams
She pictures herself
On Vogue magazine

Well, that mountain ahead
Ain't as high as it seems
For a small town girl
With big city dreams

Her best friend's crazy
About a football star
When she gets out of school
She's gonna marry him

Sometimes she wishes
She was more like her
Without this ambition
She's carrying

But her mind runs away
When she lays down at night
How to get there from here
It all seems so clear
When she turns out the light

She's a small town girl
With big city dreams
She pictures herself
On Vogue magazine

Well, that mountain ahead
Ain't as high as it seems
For a small town girl
With big city dreams

Her mama hangs
The clothes on the line
Daddy makes a living
One day at a time

She's a small town girl
With big city dreams
She pictures herself
On Vogue magazine

Well, that mountain ahead
Ain't as high as it seems
For a small town girl
With big city dreams

She's a small town girl
With big city dreams
