A Small Town Girl
Small town
was to blame
The feeling
I felt was so much pain
I thought
the city would set me free
Well silly
me!
I kept
myself busy
I was going
with the city pace
Did I even
get a chance to see my own face?
I couldn’t
slow down
For If I did
I would wear a frown
Afraid of
the unkown
I kept
myself going
I didn’t
realize how much I ran away from
For my dad
had been gone for three years
Instead of
allowing the tears
I would drink
a few more beers
Made me some
new friends
Who allowed
me to cry
And for the
first time
I let out a
big sigh
A wise
couple once said
Listen to
your heart
Not with
your head
It will show
you the way
I thought
maybe they were right
So I stopped
putting up the fight
I tried to
listening to my heart
Where I went
was so dark
I started to
understand
What all
this is about
For it
wasn’t the small town
I ran away
from
I was
running away from myself
I now know
the wise couple was right
Listen to
your heart
For it does
show you the way
I have found
the little girl that was once lost
Brought us
home at last
To
heal my past
With
Gratitude to John & Esther Lasha Watson
