歌词
I would hear the horn blowing on the CN train
Wave from my bike as kid dream bout where it could take me
I knew every house and every face inside
No one locked their door I think about that place all the time
Coffee row and twirling stools at the Chinese café
They'd solve the world's problems before 9 o'clock each day
The past is full of diamonds we once thought were coal
Mom's shouting from front porches come for supper before it gets cold
I grew up in a small town I'm small town at heart
I moved to the city but deep down I've not gone that far
No matter where my boots take me I grew up in a small town &
I still got one foot on main street
Cruising gravel roads on a Friday eve
Music up windows down setting ourselves free
First cigarette outside the dance at the high school
Learning how to make mistakes and goddamn it we were cool
And getting out was on our minds seemed like only somewhere else
Where there were fortunes to find
Seventeen loaded up the hatchback
Come back once a year at Christmastime
To see mom and dad
I grew up in a small town I'm small town at heart
I moved to the city but deep down I've not gone that far
No matter where my boots take me I grew up in a small town &
I still got one foot on main street
Headed back the other day took a drive
Grandma passed away and we said our good-byes
Pot holes peeling paint it had seen better days
Some would never see the beauty in this place
And I heard the horn blowing on the CN train
And I was a kid on a bike those were simpler days
Used to know every house and every face inside
Wonder if they lock their doors? Think about that place all the time
I grew up in a small town I'm small town at heart
I moved to the city but deep down I've not gone that far
No matter where my boots take me I grew up in a small town & I
Grew up in a small town I'm small town at heart
I moved to the city but deep down I've not gone that far
No matter where my boots take me I grew up in a small town &
I still got one foot on main street
