Lyrics

Chapter one
Learn to crawl
Learn to walk
Learn to play a little ball
Make some friends
Learn to bend that little six-string Yamaha
Got a truck hand-me-down
Drove around ’til graduation day
Didn’t have too much to say

Then I saw your blue eyes
And you smile back at me
Just a matter of time
‘Til I was down on one knee
It was just black-and-white
Then it all came to light
When I met you that night
That’s when I started to write
The small-town story of my life

Chapter two
Said, “I do”
Then we flew around the world on our honeymoon
Chapter three
Found a piece of ground
Little house with a tin roof
Chapter four
Hung a swing out on the porch
Baby I can’t wait to write a hundred more

Since I saw your blue eyes
And you smiled back at me
Just a matter of time
‘Til I was down on one knee
It was just black-and-white
Then it all came to light
When I met you that night
That’s when I started to write
The small-town story of my life

I was just the same boy in the same town
Doing the same old things
Wasn’t nothing but some words on a page

‘Til I saw your blue eyes
And you smiled back at me
Just a matter of time
‘Til I was down on one knee
It was just black-and-white
Then it all came to light
When I met you that night
That’s when I started to write
The small-town story of my life

Whoa oh
You’re the small-town story of my life
Yeah

Chapter five
The dog arrives
Chapter six
Are we talking kids?
We’re gonna have to see
Gonna have to read
The small-town story
The small-town story of my life
