Small town girl, small town girl
Passed by empty parks on corners in a small town world
To the streets of New York City, holds some triumph in your mind
And where liberty, our lady found in you, a soul in kind
People change, as bidden petals curl
Did you want some other promise, small town girl
In a search for liberation
All God's children in the wind
Where a small town congregation cast you out or let you in
No you don't have to say
I know where I go astray
It was gunna go down anyway
I only wish that I could've known what I know now today
As a boy, as a boy
Well I was just so serious, as a boy
And all the streets of New York City,
Shut me right down to my core
Now I've been battered scared and broken
But I'm not scared anymore
No you don't have to say
I know where I go estranged
It was gunna go down anyway
I only wish that I could have know what I know now today
[Instrumental:]
Yeah yeahhh
Da da dada da da da
Da da dada da da da
No you don't have to say...
I know where I go astray
No you don't have to say
I know where I go astray
It was gunna go down anyway
I only wish that I could have known what I know now today
I only wish that I could have known what I know now today
I only wish that I could have known what I know now today
