Smalltown Girl
©Jerry Axson

Look her in the eyes or just look away -
shut my mouth - I’ve got nothing to say,
I’ve been saving up my pennies for a rainy day,
slipping out the back door to make a getaway,
I’ve got all my dreams - all my stars,
packed up in a box in the back of my car,
a little money saved and a tired credit card,
I’m getting down the road but I don’t know how far
All my life I’ve been searching for something to do -
all my life I’ve never thought about a girl like you...

Never fall in love with a smalltown girl,
got her hand on her heart and an undone curl,
enough makeup on to make a grown man blush,
rough around the edges but soft to the touch,
The thing you need to know about a smalltown girl,
how a tiny grain of sand becomes a beautiful pearl,
in the eyes of a lover, the eyes of a friend.
a diamond in the rough and so it begins...

Well I might have noticed you back in high school,
but I never said a word - I was way to cool,
I’ve been waiting for a moment to come around -
shake the dust off my feet from this old town,
I’m looking to the left - I’m looking to the right,
I’m looking toward the west at dawn’s first light,
I’ve got better things to do - better places to be,
you can plan all you want but don’t include me,

I thought I’d get up this morning and drive, drive, drive...
but I can’t seem to get you off of my mind...

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
