Small Town

 Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
 Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small - communities
 All my friends are so small town
My parents live in a same small town
 My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity, hey!
 Educated in a small town
Taught to fear Jesus in a small town
 Used to daydream in that small town
Another born romantic that's me
 But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town

Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
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
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
 But my bed is in a small town
Oh, that's good enough for me
 Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in a small town
Ah, that's prob'ly where they'll bury me

Small Town by John Mellencamp 

This weekend was Homecoming for our little community.  They only have it every three years so it is a huge deal.  The kiddos were apart of the parade and it was amazing to see practically the whole town lining the street.  I had that "Small Town" song running through my head the whole time!
