[Verse 1]
The water tower’s rusted, the diner’s still the same,
They all gather at the station, talkin' weather, talkin' rain.
I see their faces smiling, but their eyes stay stuck in place,
Like they’ve never dreamed a mile beyond this worn-out, hollow space.
[Prechorus]
I hear the freight train calling, whisperin' my name,
It’s the sound of leaving, the sound of change.
[Chorus]
I’m bigger than this town, bigger than these streets,
Bigger than the stories they’re content to repeat.
I’ve got fire in my chest, dreams they’ll never chase down,
I was born here, but I’m bigger than this town.
[Verse 2]
The football field’s still faded, the bleachers worn and gray,
They cheer for boys who’ll settle for a job that barely pays.
My friends all say they’re happy, but I see it in their sighs,
They’ve traded every sunrise for the comfort of the skies.
[Prechorus]
But I’ve got a restless spirit, and it won’t sit still,
It’s pullin’ me away from this sleepy hill.
[Chorus]
I’m bigger than this town, bigger than these streets,
Bigger than the cycles that they’re too scared to beat.
I’ve got fire in my chest, dreams they’ll never chase down,
I was born here, but I’m bigger than this town.
