Hey girl, how's that new studio apartment?
Sounds like I'm not the only one still a little broken-hearted
You're there in a new place, and I know that, that can be lonely
Just know that when the city sleeps and you can't, you can call me

I know you wanted me to come with ya
Make a run for the west coast sun with ya
But my roots run deeper than that ocean
These emotions
Girl, I love you, but you know me and you know there's nothing for me in them

Champagne-soaked Malibu nights
Baby, you need the sun 'cause you need to shine
You were born to fly, and I was born to stick around
Baby, I was built for the
Wheat waving in the southern wind
Boots in the dirt I grew up in
You were built for big-time big dreams for chasing down
And baby, I was built for a small town

You might could make me feel at home out there for a weekend
But come Sunday, this old boy'd be on the first red-eye leaving
And I wish I could just up and uproot my life for you
But that'd mean changing who I am and I just can't afford to
Girl, you know there's nothing for me in them

Champagne-soaked Malibu nights
Baby, you need the sun 'cause you need to shine
You were born to fly, and I was born to stick around
Baby, I was built for the
Wheat waving in the southern wind
Boots in the dirt I grew up in
You were built for big-time, big dreams for chasing down
And baby, I was built for a small town

Yeah baby, I was, I was built for a small town
I was built for a small town
I know you wanted me to come with ya
Make a run for the west coast sun with ya
But my roots run deeper than that ocean
These emotions
Girl, I love you but you know me and you know there's nothing for me in them

Champagne-soaked Malibu nights
Baby, you need the sun 'cause you need to shine
You were born to fly, and I was born to stick around
Baby, I was built for the
Wheat waving in the southern wind
Boots in the dirt I grew up in
You were built for big-time, big dreams for chasing down
Yeah, girl, chasing down
Baby, I was built for a small town
Baby, I was, I was built for a small town
