Intro
Verse 1
I met a girl with a lip tattoo
She looked skinny as a rail in those high heel shoes
Shes 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 Shes 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
Chorus
So shes gonna do what she wants to do
Shes gonna wear a one piece bathing suit
Shes gonna smile, shes gonna scream
Shes a small town girl in a big city
Yeah, shes making her moves
Shes got American Dreams (, , , x2)
Verse 2
So ohh look at you now
Youre a small town girl in a big old crowd
Your Moving up Making your scene
Aint making a dime but youre living your dreams
And up there youre gonna have your fights
But girl follow your heart You gonna do alirght
& I know thats what you always do
You were born to be free.
Born for breaking the rules
Chorus
So shes gonna do what she wants to do
Shes gonna wear a one piece bathing suit
Shes gonna smile, shes gonna scream
Shes a small town girl in a big city
Yeah, shes making her moves
Shes got American----
Bridge
Dreams dont come from anyone else
Theyre born in the beating deep inside
of your chest
Lord knows they do
And the harder you try the harder you might fall
But youll never learn nothing if it
aint ever your fault
So go on and do what you do
(, , , x2)
Come on and make us a move Oooo, oooo yeahh
