lyrics

walking down main st
backstage bakery
say a little and a few hellos
over cigarettes and a cup of joe

how did I get here?
Small town USA
by way of the highway
from the big city of LA
where no body shows a care
no body knows you name
and stars glow dully
in the land of fame

I walk down passed dianes
on into the sunshine lands
and I walk through a gentle rain
before I walk from where I came
n see a man in a costume
see what he has to say
we talk the town we talk of doom
we talk a bit of yesterday
and then I depart past
and meet another friendly face
and time ticks quicker
in the moments we hang

and we watch as the tweekers pass
on their way to smoke some glass
and we laugh away our small town woes
as each day the world grows
around this small town
this bubble built into ground
full of all types of souls
both young and old
surrounded by the hills
the green trees and their frills
and midnight shining stars
both venus and mars

and we walk past all the murals
buster keaton’s general
opal whitely and a covered bridge
to the lake and to the ridge

and how did I get here
small town usa
by way of the highway
from the big city of LA
I never had a home
my heart is a vagabound
it lives in bohemia
but for now it walks around this town
