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
