[Verse 1]
The city was tall and the city was loud,
A million bunnies, but I felt like a cloud —
Just driftin' along with no place to be,
Past a hundred locked doors that were never for me.
Then I rolled into town with my guitar and a grin,
And the first bunny I met threw a wave — "come on in!"
No nameplate, no number, just a "howdy there, friend,"
And somethin' in my chest started healin' again.
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how a stranger
Can feel like home,
Funny how you quit feelin'
So alone —
[Chorus]
Oh, there's a small town sky,
Open clear and wide and kind,
Where every bunny waves hello
And no bunny's left behind.
I was lost in the crowd,
But I found my place at last —
Somewhere warm and waitin'
Under a small town sky.
[Verse 2]
Met a fella in flannel with a handshake firm,
Said "come back any time, son, there's plenty to learn."
A baker slid me cake and wouldn't take a dime —
"Welcome to the Junction, now you take your sweet time."
I'm a long way from the bunny that I used to be,
Eyes down to the ground, heart locked up with a key.
But kindness has a way of openin' the door,
And I don't feel like a stranger anymore.
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how a kind word
Can turn a day,
Funny how the heavy
Just melts away —
[Chorus]
Oh, there's a small town sky,
Open clear and wide and kind,
Where every bunny waves hello
And no bunny's left behind.
I was lost in the crowd,
But I found my place at last —
Somewhere warm and waitin'
Under a small town sky.
[Bridge]
Maybe I was never meant for crowded streets and noise,
Maybe I was built for porch-light evenings, simple joys —
For a town that learns your name before you even say it,
And when you've got a song to sing, they stop and let you play it.
[Outro]
So I'll set my worries down and let the evening roll on by,
With a brand-new tune and an old guitar
Under a small town sky.
