Intro: C F C G

Where 9 meets
There's a single stop light town

My hotel in Manhattan

But I ain't in Checotah anymore
Chorus:
F
I'm in a world so wide

It makes me feel small sometimes

In a world of long red carpets
F
The bright lights of Hollywood

All the paparazzi flashin'

Can make a girl feel pretty good

After prom down at the bowling lanes
Catchin' crappy fish in Eufaula lake
