I work at the mall food court When I get home I fix something to eat Settle into my seat And turn on the country radio I know every word To every song And they make these lonely nights a little less lonely 'Cause then I'm under the stars Regular at the bar Got a perfect girl, I got a worn in truck We go down to the river The moonlight is silver But most of all I get to be in love I wanna be that boy, I wanna be that girl I wanna know what it's like to fall in love like Most of the rest of the world But as far as these songs will take me Is as far as I'll go I'm just a gay kid in a small town Who loves country radio I feel it in old time I feel it brand new The lights on refrain, the secrets in pain Like only a song can know you But then I close my eyes It's like I click my heels That's me in the story and the story is real It works like a charm, I've got him on my arm We're taking a chance on a dance from the band Is our favorite song, we're singing along And tonight, he's gonna ask my hand I wanna be that boy, I wanna be that girl I wanna know what it's like to fall in love like Most of the rest of the world But as far as these songs will take me is as far as I'll go I'm just a gay kid in a small town Who loves country radio And as I'm driving to work The sign at your church says, "Repent now" You can't go back to the ways of the past So I go twice as fast to turn you on So I can live right now That boy I wanna be that girl I wanna know what it's like to find out like Most of the rest of the world I wanna be that boy (I wanna be that boy) As far as these songs will take me is as far as I'll go I'm just a gay kid in a small town Who loves country radio
