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
