I met a girl with a lip tattoo
She looked skinny as a rail in those high heel shoes
She?s got a spot above Webster Hall
Claims to run this town with her hair in a ball
(Ooooo, ooooo)
She was small town girl USA
hell, her daddys bagging groceries, living day by day
I know she knows it aint her place
Shes tired of that living and the same clichés
Now She?s the first in her family to hold a degree
and her mommas waiting tables down at Ruby Tuesdays
& I aint saying that at all like its mean
cause her momma probably taught the girl
damn near everything
So she?s gonna do what she wants to do
She?s gonna wear a one piece bathing suit
She?s gonna smile, she?s gonna scream
She?s a small town girl in a big city
Yeah, she?s making her moves
So ohh look at you now
You?re a small town girl in a big old crowd
Your Moving up Making your scene
Ain?t making a dime but you?re living your dreams
And up there you?re gonna have your fights
But girl follow your heart You gonna do alirght
& I know that?s what you always do
You were born to be free.
Born for breaking the rules
So she?s gonna do what she wants to do
She?s gonna wear a one piece bathing suit
She?s gonna smile, she?s gonna scream
She?s a small town girl in a big city
Yeah, she?s making her moves
She?s got American
Dreams don?t come from anyone else
They?re born in the beating deep inside
of your chest
Lord knows they do
And the harder you try the harder you might fall
But you?ll never learn nothing if it
aint ever your fault
So go on and do what you do
Come on and make us a move Oooo, oooo yeahh
