Brandon Heath
"Small Town Flame"


What a day it must have been
Finding out that you’d be rolling in
The driveway again
People calling up to say hello
Wondering why you never just said so
We thought we’d never know

Well, maybe I could call you
I wonder how you’d be
Did you get the letters or ever think of me

People always coming up and saying to me
She’s thinking about bringing up a family
You know it’s harder than it used to be
They say sometimes you bring up my name
You wanna catch a spark from a small town flame

Well, maybe I could hide, but then I’d be cruel
Tell you that I love you but then I’d be a fool

But maybe all I am is a lonely fool
I never really knew
When I needed you, you were gone with the wind
I never really knew how the story began
Or if it would ever end
But the wind blows strong tonight
And you small town flame
He’s out like a light

Maybe I could hide but then I’d be cruel
Tell you that I love you, but then I’d be a fool

But maybe all I am just a fool
Foolishly in love with a woman who
I never really knew
When I needed you, you were gone with the wind
I never really knew how the story began
Or if it would ever end
But the wind blows strong tonight
And you small town flame
He’s out like a light
