Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Prob’ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that’s me
But I’ve seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she’s small town just like me
No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who’s in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that’s good enough for me
Well I was born in a small town
And I can breath in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that’s prob’ly where they’ll bury me
Small towns across PA are going to bury Barrack I think! John Cougar, even though you are a raving lib, your lyrics hit home today.
There was once a time, long ago when I liked Mellencamp.
Good music!
“I sing six words and say ‘small town’....
And then five more and say ‘small town’...”
John Cougar Mellowcrap. Nothing else like him. Thank goodness.
This small town Western Pennsylvanian (even Pittsburgh is a small town) is mighty p.o’d at this garbage. We are flyover country. The elites on the coasts have always thought they were better than the rest of us hard working small town, church going, gun owning Americans.
This isn’t going away.
Obama and his wife complain about student loans for IVY LEAGUE schools. My heart bleeds for them. Must be hard to pay back school loans with a combined income over a million. This guy’s wife went to Zanesville, Ohio and talked to stay at home moms there, telling them to not go into hedge funds as a career. HUH?
Elites. The entire democratic party has turned into a bunch of anti American snobs. And why don’t we EVER see the snob Obama standing with anyone in the military? Is he allergic to them?
Mellencamp supported Edwards. I cannot believe people like him could support Obama. Some will vote for Hillary!, some will vote for McCain.
