I live on a hill overlooking the skyline With a breathtaking view of the big city bright lights A hand full of stars and a heart full of dreams Brought me down this road that's never what it seems Here I'm just another face and just another voice Just a wanna be that's gonna be if I have a choice The woman I am ain't the one that I was You say I've come to my roots long enough I can't run from the past that's given me wings If I had to choose between this and what's left of me Then I choose me I guess I've come a long way for a small town girl There was a time I would have done anything Trade in my soul just to play in the game Put my pride on the table, put my name on the line It's a job that I love but it's not my life I can't run from the past that's given me wings If I had to choose between this and what's left of me Then I choose me Yeah I've come a long way for a small town girl No I won't run from the past that's given me wings And if I had to choose between this and what's left of me But then I choose me 'Cause I've come a long way for a small town girl, oh yeah I'm proud to be a small town girl
