College Town

[Verse 1]
Daddy threw a hammer, Mama taught her to dream
She's a first-generation homecoming queen
Got a mailbox letter, gonna make 'em all proud
She's the first one to make it to a college town (College town)

[Verse 2]
Boyfriend throws a ball, he's got a hell of an arm
He'll be a first-string freshman, fresh off the farm
They already named their babies, got a ring picked out
As if they stand a chance against college town

[Chorus]
She knows it all goin' in, not a thing comin' out
She's got the world in her hands, four yеars to find out
How to dress up and mess up and wake up drunk on a couch
Shе'll get a heartbreak degree when love lets her down
They don't teach you in school what you learn in a college town

[Verse 3]
She'll come home for Christmas and cut off her hair
Got a whole new opinion her parents don't share
They'll put her in her place, they'll put her feet on the ground
She's on the first two-lane back to that college town

[Chorus]
She knows it all goin' in, not a thing comin' out
She's got the world in her hands, four years to find out
How to dress up and mess up and wake up drunk on a couch
And she'll change her major, she's a poli-sci now
They don't teach you in school what you learn in a college town

[Bridge]
Losing her inhibitions
And finding her voice, yeah
She's makin' real big decisions
Makin' out with the boys
She's makin' all kinds of noise

[Chorus]
She knows it all goin' in, not a thing comin' out
She's got the world in her hands, four years to find out
How to dress up and mess up and wake up drunk on a couch
She'll get a real crash course in what real life's about
They don't teach you in school what you learn in a college town

[Outro]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
