Small Town Girl Lyrics

Small town girl, small town girl
Passed by empty parts unkind and in a small town world
To the streets of New York City, pull some triumph in your mind
And our liberty, unladen found in you is so unkind
People change, as bidden little girls
Did you want some other promise, small town girl
In a search for liberation
All the children in the wind
Where a small town congregation cast you out or let you in

Chorus
No you don't have to say
I know where I go astray
It was gunna go down anyway
I only wish that I could've known what I know now today

As a boy, as a boy
Well I was just so serious, as a boy
And all the streets of New York City,
Shut me right down to my core
Now I've been battered scared and broken
But I'm not scared anymore
No you don't have to say
I know where I go estranged
It was gunna go down anyway
I only wish that I could have know what I know now today
Instrumental
yeah yeahhh
da da dada da da da
da da dada da da da

No you don't have to say...
I know where I go astray

No you don't have to say
I know where I go astray
It was gunna go down anyway
I only wish that I could have known what I know now today
I only wish that I could have known what I know now today
I only wish that I could have known what I know now today
