A small town boy with a big guitar
I think you're gonna go far
And that's all he's ever heard
Staring through the mirror
One last look at his old hometown
With his foot to the floor
Through the dark of the night
Now it's a big city stage
Hanging on his door in the sky
But he doesn't know its name
Have another coffee, a little bit of cream,
but they don't seem wrong,
feelin' like a thief stealin'
to the push and the shove,
just to find a little love
in another hotel, another old town,
ring around the rosies fallin'
Now it's a big city stage
Hanging on a star in the sky above
Night after night, laying out his soul,
Was it all worthwhile, did it slip away?
So the small town boy with the big guitar
Walks away from the glitter
Now it's a small town stage
Thanking that star in the sky above
For the small town girl and her one true love
