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
