Small Town Chains

[Verse] Well, I’m stuck in this town, can’t seem to break free, Every road I take just leads back to me. Dreams of the open sky, but I’m tied to the ground, Livin’ the same ol’ life, like I’m goin’ 'round and 'round. [Verse 2] Cows in the pasture, they don’t seem to mind, Every day’s a mirror, with nothin' new to find. Nightfall comes easy, same stars overhead, Promises too heavy, too many words unsaid. [Chorus] Small town chains, they won't let me go, Roots so deep, they're draggin’ down my soul. Heartaches and heartbreaks, they all look the same, Caught in these small town chains. [Verse 3] Main street’s quiet, whispers in the wind, Old friends keep askin’ 'bout where I’ve been. But how do you tell 'em, there's nowhere left to roam? When dreams feel so distant in a place called home. [Bridge] Rusty swings on the playground, silence in the air, Worn-out boots and work gloves, they’ve seen their wear. Folks here are content, but it ain't enough for me, I long for the horizon, where my heart's runnin’ free. [Chorus] Small town chains, they won't let me go, Roots so deep, they're draggin’ down my soul. Heartaches and heartbreaks, they all look the same, Caught in these small town chains.
