The song is about lifestyle choices - we might dream about big city life, but for some of us, a more peaceful life may be a better choice in the end.
Small Town Lights - Lyrics by Juha Partanen
This place doesn't glow on the horizon
It doesn't beckon or lure you in
It's just a candle among the neon
A safe haven from fickle winds
Am I alive or cast aside
Our points of view we must decide
A better life the other side
Our wants and needs just might collide, oh
No big city nights just small town lights
Stars up in the skies my neon signs
No big city nights just small town lights
So beautiful you are among the stars
No big city nights just small town lights
But there is a solitary comfort
There is a pulse and a soul to this place
A sanctuary and it's a fort
It doesn't matter what outsiders say
Am I alive or cast aside
Our points of view we must decide
A better life the other side
Our wants and needs just might collide, oh
No big city nights just small town lights
Stars up in the skies my neon signs
No big city nights just small town lights
So beautiful you are among the stars
No big city nights just small town lights
No big city just a small town
No big city just a small town
No big city just a small town
No big city just a small town
No big city nights
No big city nights just small town lights
Stars up in the skies my neon signs
No big city nights just small town lights
So beautiful you are among the stars
No big city nights just small town lights
No big city just a small town
No big city just a small townmore
