Small Town Girl Lyrics - Singles - Claudia Church

Her mama hangs 

The clothes on the line 

Wearin' a smile 

While she's doing it 

Her daddy makes a living 

One day at a time 

For twenty-three years 

He's come through with it 

But she's seventeen 

And dreams of so much more 

Than a restless heart, a rusted-out car 

And a job at the local food store 

She's a small town girl 

With big city dreams 

She pictures herself 

On Vogue magazine 

Well, that mountain ahead 

Ain't as high as it seems 

For a small town girl 

With big city dreams 

Her best friend's crazy 

About a football star 

When she gets out of school 

She's gonna marry him 

Sometimes she wishes 

She was more like her 

Without this ambition 

She's carrying 

But her mind runs away 

When she lays down at night 

How to get there from here 

It all seems so clear 

When she turns out the light 

She's a small town girl 

With big city dreams 

She pictures herself 

On Vogue magazine 

Well, that mountain ahead 

Ain't as high as it seems 

For a small town girl 

With big city dreams 

Her mama hangs 

The clothes on the line 

Daddy makes a living 

One day at a time 

She's a small town girl 

With big city dreams 

She pictures herself 

On Vogue magazine 

Well, that mountain ahead 

Ain't as high as it seems 

For a small town girl 

With big city dreams 

She's a small town girl 

With big city dreams
