Built For A Small Town

[Verse 1]
Hey, girl, how's that new studio apartment?
Sounds like I'm not the only one still a little broken-hearted
You're there in a new place and I know that that can be lonely
Just know that, when the city sleeps and you can't, you can call me

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you wanted me to come with you
Make a run for west coast sun with you
But my roots run deeper than that ocean, these emotions
Girl, I love you, but you know me
And you know there's nothin' for me in them

[Chorus]
Champagne-soaked Malibu nights
Baby, you need the sun 'cause you need to shine
You were born to fly, I was born to stick around
Baby, I was built for the
Wheat wavin' in the southern wind
Boots in the dirt that I grew up in
You were built for big-time, big dreams for chasin' down
And, baby, I was built for a small town

[Verse 2]
You might could make me feel at home out there for a weekend
But come Sunday, this old boy'd be on the first red-eye leavin'
And I wish I could just up and uproot my life for you
But that'd mean changin' who I am and I just can't afford to
Girl, you know there's nothin' for me in them

[Chorus]
Champagne-soaked Malibu nights
Baby, you need the sun 'cause you need to shine
You were born to fly, I was born to stick around
Baby, I was built for the
Wheat wavin' in the southern wind
Boots in the dirt that I grew up in
You were built for big-time, big dreams for chasin' down
And, baby, I was built for a small town, yeah
Baby, I was, I was built for a small town (I was built for a small town)

[Bridge]
I know you wanted me to come with you
Make a run for the west coast sun with you
But my roots run deeper than that ocean, these emotions
Girl, I love you, but you know me
And you know there's nothin' for me in them

[Chorus]
Champagne-soaked Malibu nights
Baby, you need the sun 'cause you need to shine
You were born to fly, I was born to stick around (Woah, to stick around, yeah)
Baby, I was built for the
Wheat wavin' in the southern wind
Boots in the dirt that I grew up in
You were built for big-time, big dreams for chasin' down (Yeah, go chase 'em down)
Baby, I was built for a small town
Baby, I was, I was built for a small town
