Small Town Lyrics by DL One Direction

Hit The Road

2017

Verse 1:
Is it any wonder nowadays
Girls have unrealistic expectations
Looking for someone out of their league
Who'll fly them to all types of destinations
Hollywood loves to romanticize us
How we all date around, they love to discuss
Our dating lives, what happens backstage
Call us womanizers when we're half their age
We shut the band down and went our separate ways
Tried real hard to not listen when they say
We all hate еach other and were nеver really friends
I flew to New York to have fun before break ends

Pre-chorus:
Ran into you and I'm liking what we have
But if I go back to LA I'm not sure it'll last
So while we're still driving, I just gotta ask
Can we have a little fun cause I'm going nowhere fast

Chorus:
I love small towns, sneaking around in the streetlight
Hanging at the mall until day turns to night
Not having to worry about who might see
Just being myself and the feeling of free
All the hours are mine, nothing on the schedule
Not anyone's role model, chugging my favorite red bull
Forgetting about it all while I hold your hand in mine
Til I remember that we're running out of time
I love hearing the crowds calling out my name
And most of the aspects that come with this fame
But not having to worry about who might see
Just being myself and the feeling of free
Those are the things that make me wonder
If I should've chased a different dream when I was younger
I forget about it all while I hold your hand in mine
Til I remember that we're running out of time

Verse 2:
Is it any wonder nowadays
Girls have unrealistic expectations
Looking for someone out of the movies
Thinking they need a rockstar, turn into a groupie
Hollywood loves to romanticize toxic
It's in every movie kind of hard to not miss
The rain kiss after he cheated on her
And the super nice guy she thinks is a bore
Cause her minds been trained since she was young
If she doesn't underdress she won't have fun
So she throws herself on me in an attempt to be loved
But love when you're like that is really just lust

Pre-chorus:
Ran into you and I'm liking what we have
But if I go back to LA I'm not sure it'll last

Chorus:
I love small towns, sneaking around in the streetlight
Hanging at the mall until day turns to night
Not having to worry about who might see
Just being myself and the feeling of free
All the hours are mine, nothing on the schedule
Not anyone's role model, chugging my favorite red bull
Forgetting about it all while I hold your hand in mine
Til I remember that we're running out of time
I love hearing the crowds calling out my name
And most of the aspects that come with this fame
But not having to worry about who might see
Just being myself and the feeling of free
Those are the things that make me wonder
If I should've chased a different dream when I was younger
I forget about it all while I hold your hand in mine
Til I remember that we're running out of time

Bridge:
I love life with you
But I know I'm going back
Cause this was all I ever wanted
It's not the time to slack
We needed a break
We gave ourselves one
You only live once
Our dream isn't done

Chorus:
I love small towns, sneaking around in the streetlight
Hanging at the mall until day turns to night
Not having to worry about who might see
Just being myself and the feeling of free
All the hours are mine, nothing on the schedule
Not anyone's role model, chugging my favorite red bull
Forgetting about it all while I hold your hand in mine
Til I remember that we're running out of time
I love hearing the crowds calling out my name
And most of the aspects that come with this fame
But not having to worry about who might see
Just being myself and the feeling of free
Those are the things that make me wonder
If I should've chased a different dream when I was younger
I forget about it all while I hold your hand in mine
Til I remember that we're running out of time
I love this small town, us dancing in the streetlight
Hanging at the mall until day turns to night
Not having to worry about who might see
Just being in the moment and the feeling of free
All the hours are ours, nothing on the schedule
Not anyone's role model, chugging my favorite red bull
Forgetting about it all while I hold your hand in mine
Til I remember that we're running out of time
I love hearing the crowds calling out my name
And most of the aspects that come with this fame
But not having to worry about who might see
Just being with you and the feeling of free
Those are the things that make me wonder
If I should've chased a different dream when I was younger
I forget about it all while I hold your hand in mine
Til I remember that we're running out of time
