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 that 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 that 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 (Champagne soaked)
Baby, you need the sun 'cause you need to shine
You were born to fly, and I was born to stick around (born to stick around, yeah)
Baby, I was built for the
Wheat waving in the southern wind
Boots in the dirt that I grew up in
You were built for big time, big dreams for chasing down
Yeah, go chase 'em down, yeah
Baby, I was built for a small town
Baby, I was, I was built for a small town
