Well he wore my name in a tattoo on his arm
And in a tender voice he said he'd wait for me
Yeah you're dreams are bigger than some red dirt farm
But the gra** on the other side ain't always green.
Then, I, said good bye, and on those silver wings he let me fly
Well I gave him a kiss but I would not give my heart
To a small town boy,
Heaven forbid that I'd ever miss the arms
Of a small town boy
Now the south bound wheels on this gray hound bus
Can't carry me home fast enough
Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love
Of a small town boy
Has he found a warmer touch or a pretty face
Does he lay with her down where the lilacs grow
Oh, those city boys could never take his place
Will I find the humble words to tell him so
Can, I, turn back time
Does a fool deserve the right to change her mind
Well I gave him a kiss but I would not give my heart
To a small town boy
Heaven forbid that I'd ever miss the arms
Of a small town boy
Now the south bound wheels on this gray hound bus
Can't carry me home fast enough
Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love
Of a small town boy
I miss the little things
Like the summer heat, the fire flies
Dancing slow on a starry night
When I was the apple of his eye
Let me still be the apple of his eye
Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love
Well I got off track won't you help me win back the love
Of a small town boy
Small town boy
Small town boy
Small town boy
