Sherrie Austin - Small Town Boy Lyrics

He wore my name in a tattoo on his arm
And in a tender voice he said he'd wait for me
"Yeah your dreams are bigger than some red dirt farm
But the grass on the other side ain't always green."
Then I said goodbye
And on those silver wings he let me fly

Chorus:
Well, I gave him a kiss but I would not give my heart
To a small town boy
Heaven forbid that i'd ever miss the arms
Of a small town boy
Now the southbound wheels on the Greyhound bus
Can't carry me home fast enough
Well, I got off track now I've gotta win back the love
Of a small town boy

Has he found a warmer touch or a pretty face
Does he lay with her down where the lilacs grow
Oh, those city boys will never take his place
Will I find the humble words to tell him so
Can I turn back time
Does a fool deserve the right to change her mind

Chorus:
Well, I gave him a kiss but I would not give my heart
To a small town boy
Heaven forbid that i'd ever miss the arms
Of a small town boy
Now the southbound wheels on the Greyhound bus
Can't carry me home fast enough
Well, I got off track now I've gotta win back the love
Of a small town boy

Bridge:
I miss the little things
Like the summer heat, the fire flies
Dancin' slow on a starry night
When I was the apple of his eye

Let me still be the apple of his eye
Well I got off track now I gotta win back the love
Oh, I got off track now won't you help me win back the love
Of a small town boy
Small town boy
Small town boy
Small town boy
