[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Main drag, one stop sign
Everybody knew my name
Till I crossed that line
Mama said, "Stay close"
But I heard the train
Something in that horizon
Called me out by name
[Pre-Chorus]
I packed my old blue jeans
And a heart too big
For the little white fence
At the edge of it
[Chorus]
Small town girl, big open world
(oh-oh, big open world)
Small town girl, big open world
I was born to run, I was born to whirl
Small town girl, big open world
(big open world)
[Verse 2]
First city block
Had me wide-eyed, lost
Found my way on a subway map
And paid the cost
Lone star sky
Over cheap motel sheets
I learned my fear had teeth
But it never beat me
[Pre-Chorus]
Every road I took
Made me feel the spark
From a porch swing dream
To a louder heart
[Chorus]
Small town girl, big open world
(oh-oh, big open world)
Small town girl, big open world
I was born to run, I was born to whirl
Small town girl, big open world
(big open world)
[Bridge]
I still hear that creek
And the screen door slam
But I got new maps now
In my shaking hands
One little girl
From a place so small
Now I sing my name
To the whole damn hall
[Final Chorus]
Small town girl, big open world
(oh-oh, big open world)
Small town girl, big open world
I was born to run, I was born to whirl
Small town girl, big open world
Small town girl, big open world
(big open world)
