Small Town


I’ve got greater ambitions than these four walls and the winding roads of this small town, where the Mecca of fraternization is the local chain restaurant. I’ve got higher hopes than a beauty school degree and a sweetheart marriage to the boy that grabs my hips like he owns me, cause he can’t control much else. I’ve got plans too vast and extensive for this three mile radius, a mind like mine needs the extent of the earth to wander.
