Heart Like a Small Town

Verse 1

You walked in wearing cut-off jeans

Sunset caught in your eyes it seemed

Whole bar stopped when you laughed out loud

Like lightning hitting a thundercloud

I tried to play it cool at first

But something in me was already worse

Like I’d been waiting my whole life long

For a moment just like that song

Verse 2

We drove out past the county line

Talking dreams under neon signs

You told me stories of broken trust

Of love that burned and turned to dust

I told you I wasn’t perfect too

Had scars from things I tried to do

But somehow in that midnight glow

You didn’t look ready to let me go

Pre-Chorus

You said “Boy don’t promise me the stars above”

I said “Girl I’ll promise you something better than that”

Chorus

I got a heart like a small town

Once you’re in you’re never out

Every street leads back to you

Every memory rings true

I might not be rich or famous now

But I’ll stand my ground somehow

Girl if love’s a place you found

I got a heart like a small town

Verse 3

Sunday mornings and coffee steam

Front porch talks about bigger dreams

Your head resting on my chest

Saying maybe this is our best

Not fireworks or a reckless flame

Just two lost souls with the same last name

Waiting somewhere down the line

Like fate already drew the sign

Bridge

Love ain’t always loud and wild

Sometimes it’s quiet and worth the while

Final Chorus

Yeah I got a heart like a small town

Once you’re in you’re never out

Through every road and every mile

Girl you make it all worthwhile

I’ll build a life on this sacred ground

With a heart like a small town
