De pequeña apenas lo escuchaba, pues mi pueblo era como la música que nos regala John, pasó el tiempo y hace tres años me lo trajo una amiga a casa. Le agradecí infinitamente pues ANDABA BUSCANDO HACE MUCHO TIEMPO A JOHN, desde entonces el me acompaña en mis diligencias en mi amado país Perú. Gracias John, siempre serás lo mejor para mí. Un abrazo desde Perú.
The artists of the 50's, 60's and early 70's were the best. So many memories. The music of today don't even come close. I remember cruisin' the strip on week-ends blasting out KXOK AM out of St. Louis with the windows rolled down and a good lookin' girl sittin' beside you. Man those were the days. Anybody remember Wolfman Jack?
I absolutely love this song. Every time I hear it, I'm transported back to where I'm from, Northwest Ohio. Doesn't matter where in the world I am, when it starts, I'm there.
This song makes me never want to leave home. Nothing but memories, good or bad. Makes me sad to know I'll have to move on. I'll still have photo albums though. I'm glad I'm from a small town
Takes me back to late 1985/early '86, when I lived in a small town. I was born & raised in that "small" town. It was actually a group of separate cities strung together, but the community exuded a small town atmosphere & feel. "Small Town" was on the pop music chart in late '85/early '86 - from a time when music was lots better, & there was a tidal wave of optimism sweeping the country. After all, the greatest President in American history was residing in the White House! R.I.P., Mr. Reagan.
Married an L.A. doll & brought her to this small town. Now she's small town, just like me. No I cannot forget where it is that I come from. I cannot forget the people who love me. Well, I can be myself here in this small town, & people let me be just what I wanna be. Ooh, my my yeah baby. Ooh yeah (musical interlude)! Got nothin' against the big town. Still hayseed enough to say "Look who's in the big town!". My bait is in a small town, oh that's good enough for me!
Nothing quite like being from a small town in Indiana. I used to hate being from around here, but I've got nothing but pride for my small town now. It's where I'll raise my family and where i'll be buried when I pass away.
I cannot believe how old this video is. I always wonder where this kind of music went, why did hip hop and rap have to come in the picture? Weren't we fine without it. What happened to this kind of music...it's so much better. Thumbs up if you agree with me
proud to be American, God bless our nation and the land of the free, definitely the home of the brave & the land of the free, it didnt come cheap either
I love this song, but it's sad to me because it reminds me of my hometown of Lancaster, California that "used to be" a beautiful small town. I still live in Lancaster, but it is not the same. It is now overcrowded, filled with welfare recipients, the pool where I learned to swim is closed, and the skating rink I used to go to is closed. Long live the days when Lancaster, CA "was" a small town!
Every Mellancamp song has a meaning to me and I love it, my grandfather got me hooked and we joke about it, haha he loves Mellancamp, it's his favorite artist of all time. My siblings and I tease him about it, but we love Mellancamp, too. So it all works out in the end haha.
ABSOLUTELY ! ! ! ! ! Talent has since gone out the window! But that's why people like John "The Cougar" Mellencamp and Bon Jovi and many others from our era will last for a couple more generations, while the current "performers"?... will only last till the next year or two.
i'm not from indiana, im from pa but i'm in a small town and i hope i never leave it, i grew up here, my friends are here my family is here it's an amazing place to live and i'm never leaving.
I live in a town in alabama...have visited more small...tiny towns than u can imagine...this song really makes u think about smalltown folk...ir ken, and mawmaw and pawpaw:) just s southern girl :)
I was born in a small town, & live in a small town. Gonna die in a small town. Oh, those small communities. All my friends live in small towns. My parents live in the same small town. My job is so small town, provides little opportunity. Educated here in a small town, taught to fear Jesus in a small town. Used to daydream in this small town, another boring romantic, that's me! Well, I've seen it all in this small town, had myself a ball in a small town.
I was born in a small town, & I can breathe in a small town. Gonna die in a small town. Oh, that's probably where they'll bury me...hey! Ooh yeah, baby. Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah baby! Ooh, ooh (music interlude then fade out)!
haha...Seymour IN is very small indeed...it always makes me laugh when I see him trying to hitch a ride on I65...yeah he got out of there ...he moved to Bloomington IN--where IU is--a very cool small town indeed--me I live in another small town also in central IN...and like all his music
@graduateclass08 This IS the original version. John Mellencamp wrote it about growing up in Seymour, Indiana. But, now that you mention it, I can kind of envision Springsteen doing a version of it.
To all the people who think they live in a small town of only a couple thousand people I just wanted to say i live in a town of less than 600 people......just sayin :P
Old song? Please gain perspective. Quality music lasts centuries. J.S. Mozart for example. I appreciate your music preference. Rap & Hip Hop are beautiful and creative in their own way. They will outlive both you and I by centuries.

i will always say john mellancamp is the best american artist ever- my favorite since 1979

Any Town, Indiana. Right Here, Feeling It.

One of my fav tunes.
I was born in NYC but I like this song.
I was born in a small town, & live in a small town. Gonna die in a small town. Oh, those small communities. All my friends live in small towns. My parents live in the same small town. My job is so small town, provides little opportunity. Educated here in a small town, taught to fear Jesus in a small town. Used to daydream in this small town, another boring romantic, that's me!

Every Song by John Mellancamp gives me A little more Confidence in myself

I completely agree and i am 14!!!
My small town is Clearbrook, Minnesota.
it depends on which artist you listen to in Hip Hop/Rap
I live in a small town about 45mins away from Seymour, IN
@graduateclass08 This IS the original version. John Mellencamp wrote it about growing up in Seymour, Indiana. But, now that you mention it, I can kind of envision Springsteen doing a version of it.
@burner044 reminds me of the small town I was raised in too in Ohio
@skovol007 I see. Everytime i hear this song they play this and a springsteen song back to back and to me the voices sound almost identical.
john mellencamp is my friends uncle. lol. small world.
COOOUGAR !!!!!
@gracey633 It's okay, he's from a small town
haha i'm 12 and i agree with you guys too haha
To all the people who think they live in a small town of only a couple thousand people I just wanted to say i live in a town of less than 600 people......just sayin :P
this song reminds me of Larry Bird from the Superstars video.
7 people were born in a big city
4 people are from big towns lol
THUMBS FUCKIN UP FOR THAT COMMENT AMEN
@johnmarker1 Wauseon
I think he's mocking us.
who wrote the original version of this song? Sounds like Bruce Springsteen.
Malvern
I always thought this was Tom Petty.
@burner044 swanton.

Weird bigotry against people born in cities.Nice song but odd lyrics.
Apparently they can't rhyme in a small town
