She walks up and down those halls every day, school ain't easy and that's okay
She stays up all night, doing English and Math, it's a wonder she don't fall asleep in class
Number 47 on the football team, sits three rows back and walks through her dreams
If she gets the routine right, she cheers for him on Friday nights

She's got great big dreams, like her first car and what freedom means
Who she's going to be, oh there's so much out there for her to see
It's a great big world, waiting on a small town girl

Her fashion sense is somewhere between Abercrombie and CMT
Her iPod is loaded up with Garth, her BFF likes Jordin Sparks
She wants to be Homecoming Queen, wants to get these braces off her teeth
She feels awkwad at this age, like all her friends on her Myspace page

She's got great big dreams, like her first car and what freedom means
Who she's going to be, oh there's so much out there for her to see
It's a great big world, waiting on a small town girl

It's out there waiting, yeah, yeah, yeah,

She's got great big dreams, like her first car and what freedom means
Who she's going to be, oh there's so much out there for her to see
It's a great big world, waiting on a small town girl

Watch her fly, she's going to spread her wings and say goodbye
Like this town, she'll put her faith in the Lord above
It's a great big world, waiting on a small town

It's a great big world, waiting on a small town girl

A small town girl

Yeah, yeah, yeah
