Lyrics

Verse 1
He sat in the back of the class every day,
Lost in a world where numbers wouldn’t stay.
The chalkboard seemed like a distant star,
But on the field, he knew who he was.

The teacher said, “Son, you’ve got to try,”
But all he could feel was the urge to fly.
In the roar of the crowd, he found his voice,
A small-town boy, made the bigger choice.

Chorus
Small-town boy, chasing dreams on fire,
Running so fast, he could touch the wire.
Not built for the books, but he built his heart,
Turning every fall into a brand-new start.

Small-town boy, with a flame in his chest,
Life taught him hard, but he gave it his best.
From the dirt and grass to the bright marquee,
He rose to the man he was born to be.

Verse 2
Every stumble became his lesson learned,
Every bruise a badge from the road he earned.
The whispers said, “He’ll never go far,”
But he lit up the dark like a shooting star.

Late nights running under small-town skies,
Dreaming of breaking free and touching high.
His name on the back of the jersey he wore,
A reminder of the boy who wanted more.

Chorus
Small-town boy, chasing dreams on fire,
Running so fast, he could touch the wire.
Not built for the books, but he built his heart,
Turning every fall into a brand-new start.

Small-town boy, with a flame in his chest,
Life taught him hard, but he gave it his best.
From the dirt and grass to the bright marquee,
He rose to the man he was born to be.

Bridge
Now the world calls his name, but he’s still the same,
That small-town boy with the hometown flame.
He carries the weight of where he’s from,
And shines for the kids who are told they’re done.

Outro
Small-town boy, chasing the stars,
Turned his bruises into battle scars.
Not good at school, but great at life,
He carved his name with sweat and strife.

Small-town boy, now the world can see,
The best version of the boy is free.
Running so fast, he outran the past,
And proved small-town dreams can last.
