lyrics

Dreamin' big, in a little town
Not sure what I wanna be
But I know it just aint here
This one horse town is a one lane road
To the mills and the fields where our daddy's go
And I know, this aint the place for me
Old man passin' by says I see you're dreamin' big
I've seen that look before,
Let me tell you what I did

Here I am in this big old town
Everywhere I see a dream
In the midst of million words
People everywhere with somethin' to say
Lookin' for a break and a hope of fame
And I know, this is the place for me
Old man passin' by says I see you're dreamin' big
I've seen that look before,
Let me tell you what I did

I headed back down that one lane road
To the only home I've ever known
To the front porch swing and the song bird on it's pirch
Where the cotton wood trees shade the green meadows
And the farmers maher stands to welcome me home
To the songs of grace, the picnics after church
I found my home on a one lane road
I found my home on a one lane road

Nothin' left of my youthful dreams
Forgot who I used to be
In the midst of this big old town
I sold my soul to a man in a suit
I lost myself in the heat of pursuit and I know
this aint the place for me
Old man passing by says I see your dreams are dead
I've seen that before, let me tell you what I did
