When you're growing up in a small town
A6D
When you're growing up in a small town
DG6
When you're growing up in a small town
A6D
You say no one famous ever came from here
DG6
When you're growing up in a small town
A6D
and you're having a nervous breakdown
DG6
and you think that you'll never escape it
A6D
Yourself or the place that you live
DG6
Where did Picasso come from
A6D
There's no Michelangelo coming from Pittsburgh
DG6
If art is the tip of the iceberg
A6D
I'm the part sinking below

DG6
When you're growing up in a small town
A6D
Bad skin, bad eyes, gay and fatty
DG6
People look at you funny
A6D
When you're in a small town
DG6
My father worked in construction
A6D
It's not something for which I'm suited
DG6
Oh, what is something for which you are suited?
A6D
Getting out of here

DG6
I hate being odd in a small town
A6D
If they stare, let them stare in New York City
DG6
As this pink eyed painting albino
A6D
How far can my fantasy go?
DG6
I'm no Dali coming from Pittsburgh
A6D
No adorable lisping Capote
DG6
My hero, oh, do you think I could meet him?
A6D
I'd camp out at his front door
DG6
There is only one good thing about a small town
A6D
There is only one good use for a small town
DG6
There is only one good thing about a small town
A6D
You know that you want to get out
DG6
When you're growing up in a small town
A6D
You know you'll grow down in a small town
DG6
There is only one good use for a small town...

You hate it and you'll know you have to leave
