Small Town Dream

Red leather, stone cold
She's a cowgirl sipping on some iced patron
Told her family she won't be back
As she drove away in her Cadillac
East of Eden, a teenage dream
Her hometown said she was a girl James Dean
Just a rebel without a cause
They all shake their heads, but man

It just felt so good
Like a match to a flame making ash from the pain
So good
To let it all wash away in the Mississippi rain

She's gone west chasing after sunsets
Leaving all the excess
Tryna find her own way out through the neon
No schedules to be on
And roads that just go on and on
All it takes is some gasoline and a small town dream
Oh, a small town dream, yeah

With a face like Dolly, attitude like Reba
She don't need nobody just a lime and tequila
And some backroads and a honkey tonk
A Blue Moon sipping night out on a dock

So good
Like a match to a flame making ash from the pain
So good
To let it all wash away in the Mississippi rain

She's gone west chasing after sunsets
Leaving all the excess
Tryna find her own way out through the neon
No schedules to be on
And roads that just go on and on
All it takes is some gasoline and a small town dream

(Moving onto brighter things
She'd only seen on TV screens
She's chasing every dream until the dawn)

And the city lights are brighter than the world she knew before
It's everything and more

She's gone west chasing after sunsets
Leaving all the excess
Tryna find her own way out through the neon
No schedules to be on
And roads that just go on and on
All it takes is some gasoline and a small town dream

(Moving onto brighter things
She'd only seen on TV screens
She's chasing every dream until the dawn)
