[Verse]
Born in a town where the stars don't shine
Dirt roads and whispers
The world left behind
A main street of dreams
Cracked and dry
[Chorus]
Oh Paris
Paris
You’re a cage in disguise
Paris
Paris
Where dreams go to die
But I’m reaching
I’m climbing
I’m chasing the sky
[Verse 2]
Mama said boy keep your head down low
Daddy said work till your hands don’t show
But my heart kept pulling where the wind would blow
[Prechorus]
I see the lights in my mind's rearview
A world out there where the sky stays blue
[Chorus]
Oh Paris
Paris
You’re a cage in disguise
Paris
Paris
Where dreams go to die
But I’m reaching
I’m climbing
I’m chasing the sky
[Bridge]
The train whistles scream like a ghost in the night
Calling my name to the edge of the fight
I’ll leave this town but it won’t leave me
A small-town shadow in a big city dream
