I work with a girl, she wears great big shoesShe wants to be a star in a great big cityI said, Go on girl, you got nothing to loseI bet you're talented and really pretty.Oh, I know, she says,What if I go and fail?Oh hell, what if you do?We live in this town, you work nine to fiveGet married, have children, watch your parents dieNever live your dreams, never spread your wingsAnd God forbid, you do anything to flyAnd the curious thing about all thisIs I'm part of the madnessThis little town that I grew up inKnocks me down and toughens my skinEveryday I look around meI see men and women drowningDid they lose faith in what they were supposed to beOr are they just like me?Never got it here, guess I never didNever fit in here, even as a kidHere you own a truck and you work real hardPick and chose your sidesBuild high fences 'round your yardHere you own a gun, and you own your wifeAnd you own your children and your children'd livesWhatever happened to happy-ever-after the factYou grew your roots, but did you ever think of that?And the curious thing about all thisIs I'm part of the madnessThis little town that I grew up inKnocks me down and toughens my skinEveryday I look around meI see men and women drowningDid they lose faith in what they were supposed to beOr are they just like me?You can see in my eyes that it's time I goI'd like to take you with me and show youA brighter world with a gentle touchThe you inside wouldn't hide so muchYou'd learn the rules, you'd climb to the topYou'd learn to be the girl outside the boxIsn't that what you want?And the curious thing about all thisIs you're part of the madnessThis little town that's clipped your wingsHas boxed you in, amongst other thingsEveryday you look aroundYou will see men and women drowningDid they lose faith in what they were supposed to doDid they lose faith in what they were supposed to doOr are they just like youForgot what they were supposed to beOr maybe they're just like meForgot what they were supposed to doI work with a girl, she wears great big shoes
