Lyric discussion by john150338 

I am the same age as Mellencamp. I also grew up in a small town. This song is so special to me. There's one line in it that really sticks with me "But my bed is in a small town. Oh, and that's good enough for me." Now, I am retired. I live in a big town. There are several niceties that I could indulge in, but I don't. I think it's because my simple life is "good enough for me". a very special song.
