I'm little town and you're big city

Growing up in a little town.

knowin' everyone.

that's what I'm about.

that's what I grew up knowin'.

 

You're big city.

bright lights.

you're fancy cars.

and tons of money.

 

I'm boots and cut off jeans.

baseball caps,

 mud holes,

and Four-Wheel drive.

 

You're sneakers.

shiny watchs.

blinged out rings.

and throwing money in the air.

 

I'm poor.

you're rich.

I'm small town.

you're big city.

 

I'm ford trucks,

and your Porsche.

I beg for what I want,

and you can buy it anyday.

 

I love you with all my heart,

and you love me with all your heart.

I guess that's one thing,

we have in common.

 

But besides that,

I'm small town,

and you're big city.

 

Just a small town girl,

trying to make a place in this world,

when the place I belong,

is in your big city.

Oh my gosh, this is such a beautiful poem. I guess I like it because it's a lot like my favorite movie in the whole entire world, "The Notebook". Except it's vice versa, with the girl having the money and the guy being poor. Your poem holds so much meaning and reality to it. This happens to a lot of people in the world. They often can't be together because their parents come from two different backgrounds and won't allow it to happen. But love is love and it doesn't matter if you have all the money in the world. I like how you broke it down in comparsions in the stanzas before the best part:

"I love you with all my heart,
and you love me with all your heart.
I guess that's one thing,
we have in common." --AMAZING! To have just that in common, is all that matters really.

Personally, I live in a small town in Alabama so I can somewhat relate to this poem of yours.

I only noticed one small mistake and that is in the fourth stanza, second line. It should be instead:
*You're sneakers.
shiny watches.

Wonderful write. :)

P.S-This is one of my favorite poems by you.
