Small Town Soul

Got my name on a marquee sign, gotta be tuned up by nine
Oh I wish I could find the time to stop and call my momma
Got a suitcase full of high heels, little home on eighteen wheels
Front row view of how it feels to live as big as I wanna
There’s no forgetting my humble beginnings
Where I’m going, God only knows
I leave a little piece of me everywhere I go
Pretty lights, city signs, and a skyline glow
But you can’t take the small town from a small town soul
King James and a journal page in the nightstand drawer
Nail polish and hairspray bottles rolling on the floor
I hear the voice upfront singing, «Hey, let’s have one more.»
All this and I’m still just the girl next door
Where I’m going, God only knows
I leave a little piece of me everywhere I go
Pretty lights, city signs, and a skyline glow
But you can’t take the small town from a small town soul
Doesn’t matter how small you start or how far you’ve come
Our feet all hit the dirt when the day is done
You can try as the dream is worth its weight in gold
But you can’t take the small town from a small town soul
Where I’m going, God only knows
I leave a little piece of me everywhere I go
My heart’s been wandering and it’s a long way home
But you can’t take the small town from a small town soul
No you can’t take the small town from a small town soul
