G            D          C          D
 Well, I was born in a small town
G       D        C           D
 And I live in a small town
G        D        C
 Prob'ly die in a small town

 Oh, those small communities

 All my friends are so small town
G            D          C               D
 My parents live in the same small town
G   D         C
 My job is so small town
          Am              D
 Provides little opportunity

G         D    C           D
 Educated in a small town

 Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
G           D     C
 Used to daydream in that small town
  Am                             D
 Another boring romantic, that's me


[Verse 4]

           G       D        C           D
 But I've seen it all in a small town
G             D         C             D
 Had myself a ball in a small town
G           D                       C
 Married an LA doll and brought her to this small town
           Am                   D
 Now she's small town just like me

No, I cannot forget where it is that I come from

I cannot forget the people who love me
            C    G         C             G
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town

 Got nothing against a big town
G                D            C                          D
 Still hayseed enough to say look who's in the big town
G       D           C
 But my bed is in a small town
                Am               D

 Gonna die in this small town
            Am                          D
 And that's probl'y where they'll bury me
