Well, I was born in a small town And I live in a small town Probably die in a small town Oh, those small communities All my friends are so small town My parents live in the same small town My job is so small town Provides little opportunity, hey Educated in a small town Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town Used to daydream in that small town Another boring 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 from 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 wanna be Got nothing against the big town Still hayseed enough to say, "Look who's in the big town" But my bed is in a small town Oh, and 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 this small town Oh, and that's probably where they'll bury me, yeah Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh, yeah Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh, yeah
Well, I lived on the outskirts of town In an eight room farmhouse, baby When my brothers and friends were around There was always somethin' doin' Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends Stopped by to see me every once in a while When I think back about those days All I can do is sit and smile That's when a sport was a sport And groovin' was groovin' And dancin' meant everything We were young, and we were improvin' Laughin', laughin' with our friends Holdin' hands meant somethin', baby Outside the club Cherry Bomb Our hearts were really thumpin' Say, yeah, yeah, yeah Say, yeah, yeah, yeah The winter days, they last forever But the weekends went by so quick Went ridin' around this little country town We were goin' nuts, girl, out in the sticks One night, me with my big mouth A couple guys had to put me in my place When I see those guys these days We just laugh and say, "Do you remember when" That's when a sport was a sport And groovin' was groovin' And dancin' meant everything We were young, and we were improvin' Laughin', laughin' with our friends Holdin' hands meant somethin', baby Outside the club Cherry Bomb Our hearts were really thumpin' Say, yeah, yeah, yeah Say, yeah, yeah, yeah Alright Say, yeah, yeah, yeah Say, yeah, yeah, yeah 17 has turned 35 I'm surprised that we're still livin' If we've done any harm I hope that we're forgiven Got a few kids of my own And some days I still don't know what to do I hope that they're not laughin' too loud When they hear me talkin' like, this to you That's when a sport was a sport And groovin' was groovin' And dancin' meant everything We were young, and we were improvin' Laughin', laughin' with our friends Holdin' hands meant so much, baby Outside the club Cherry Bomb Our hearts were really pumpin' Say, yeah, yeah, yeah Say, yeah, yeah, yeah
