I love this song cause I am from Seymour, Indiana just like John
This probably describes my whole life. :D
Wish I was born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s
Sounds like a Road Trip song.. Though I've never been on a road trip.. Matter of fact only trip I've been on is a Field Trip lol xD.. Sad :(
I was born in a small town & I can breath in a small town that's probably where they'll bury me!! Love John!! One of my Indiana cousins got to play in concert w/him. Sweet❌❤❌❤
ICON!!! -JUST LIKE BRUCE!!!-CHA N G E D THINGS THROUGH MUSIC!!!!-AL W A Y S LOVE HIM!!!!!-
I was brought up in a smalk town my self I can relate to this song
Small towns everywhere in this country. Thanks John! Think about it.
In need of followers well follow me and ill follow back asp
I was raised in a small town, TAUGHT the fear of Jesus in a small town, good memories though
I thought it said Doctor Phill, Jesus, and small town. Yeah, it doesn't.
Ain't that America
This song is about Seymour, Indiana. At the time of his birth, Seymour had 9,600 residents.

1st concert was John Cougar opening for Heart! Good show although Cougar kept referring to the crowd as MFers!

I used to think it said, "Got to be a Jesus in a small town".
The Scarecrow album was Mellencamp's Born in the U.S.A., and "Small Town" is one of the songs that most powerfully drives that identity and led me to become a dedicated fan. The flipside of the original 45 rpm single had a great accoustic version that I liked even better.
my son's favorite song, so it is mine also
I love Mellencamp, but he shamelessly ripped of the chord progression of Pete Townshened's "Let my love open the door" on this one. Great song but Pete should get a songwriting credit.

Think he does a great job of capturing the essence of small town America!!!
good song! I too live on the outskirts of a semi-small town... and loving every second of it
Me too! Saw him in concert last year. He looks and sounds FANTASTIC still.
