lyrics

She first came to me
said hey babe don't you know
life can be tragic
gotta learn as you go
She could make you smile
While pointing out your flaws
As a small-town girl from Sallisaw

Church every Sunday
to learn wrong from right
Daddy preached the gospel
And smoked cocaine at night
Like a refugee she fled east to Arkansas
As a small-town girl from Sallisaw

Nothing in her pockets but her dreams
Daring to outrun her insecurities
Windows rolled down to feel the breeze
No real plans but being free

She tried her hand at the tables
Dealing out the cards
Served beer on airplanes
and closed down all the bars
Had misunderstandings with officers of the law
She still a small-town girl from Sallisaw

Along the way she found love a time or two
Dyed her hair whichever color fit her mood
Wherever she found herself is right where she belonged
As a small-town girl from Sallisaw

Nothing in her pockets but her dreams
daring to outrun her insecurities
windows rolled down to feel the breeze
No real plans but being free

When she first came to me
I was trying to hide my scars
She assured me this living really ain't that hard
I stayed out all night and hit the road at dawn
With a small-town girl from Sallisaw

Nothing in my pockets but my dreams
Daring to outrun my insecurities
Windows rolled down the feel the breeze
No real plans but being free
