[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Chapter two, said "I do"
Then we flew around the world on our honeymoon
Chapter three, found a piecе of ground, little house with a tin roof
Chapter four, hung a swing out on thе porch
Baby, I can't wait to write a hundred more

[Chorus]
Since 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
[Bridge]
I was just the same boy, same town, doin' the same old things
Wasn't nothin' but some words on a page

[Chorus]
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, woah
You're the small-town story of my life, yeah

[Outro]
Chapter five, the dog arrives
Chapter six, are we talkin' kids?
We're gonna have to see, gonna have to read
The small-town story
The small-town story of my life
