(Wally Wilson/Paul Nelson/Larry Boone)
She was taught the world was small
That it`s all dirt and dust
Sunday school and country songs
Things a girl can trust
She`ll learn her lesson well
She played her part
But those back roads couldn`t give
What was missing in her heart
You can make love staring at the stars
From the cold back seat of a beat up car
But there`s only so far that a small town girl can go
When the sun comes up its still the same old sun
`Cuz the moon don`t hang out on Border Town Road
She thinks of all the reasons
Why she outta stay right here
A river that runs deep and wide
A sky thats always clear
She knows she can live her life
Just to watch those seasons change
What`s she supposed to do with those relentless dreams
You can make love staring at the stars
From the cold back seat of a beat up car
But there`s only so far that a small town girl can go
When the sun comes up its still the same old sun
`Cuz the moon don`t hang out on Border Town Road
In her room she packs her clothes
To the glow of a distant light
She knows the moon is shining
Somewhere on the other side
You can make love staring at the stars
From the cold back seat of a beat up car
But there`s only so far that a small town girl can go
When the sun comes up its still the same old sun
`Cuz the moon don`t hang out on Border Town Road
