Seems like there's
two different towns
in the city that I come from
Sometimes all they
share is a name
Though both reside
in southern Indiana
One's the color of blood
and one's blue like a lake
We're nearly around
town outside east of the city
We completely knew this water
Our little county was growing up
just like the skyscraper
of Manhattan
Yeah that city grew tall
we grew holes in the ground
The city got a small town heart
but big city eyes
You don't have to look too hard
to see what is clearly
in the light
I know how a small town heart
speaks to these stars
But you know there
ain't no stars in the city
You can't see stars in the city
You can only run so far
you'll always have a
small town heart
Well I dreamed of the west like
most every young American
I headed east
where I found and lost a girl
Nearly anywhere
can be your home
if you go and let it
But there's one place
where you came into the world
Well I got a small town heart
but big city eyes
You don't have to look too hard
to see what is clearly
in the light
I know how a small town heart
speaks to these stars
But you know there
ain't no stars in the city
You can't see stars in the city
You can only run so far
you'll always have
a small town heart
You can only run so far
you'll always have
a small town heart
