"Used to daydream in that small town" Not a whole lot of 'dreams' left are there? It's really all about 'being human' versus being a puppet, a machine, a faceless cog in the wheel; in a landscape where no one really cares and those who 'care', care only to contol you like the faceless, nameless number that they are trying to make you all. Consider singer-poets like Mellencamp to be prophets for you all in the Brave New World in which we continue to be encased.
@jeff62rey look up blues travelers hook....can u believe they made a pop song called brave new world no worries my friend their scared of Ron Paul Reagan freed Europe Paul shall free America boy I wish we really did beat communism....did we forget about China? The elites are so stupid good thing Chinese know better not to invade
i wouldnt give a flyin #### whether i ever met john Mellancamp or had any association with him whatsoever- means nothing , all i know is that i have loved his music since 1979 and i will always think of him as one of if not the best ameican artist ever
went out to california a couple of times, there ain't nothin' out there that i couldn't find right here in st. helen, mi...we have a traffic light, but lord knows we don't need it.
i was born in guayaquil-ecuador i left when i was 18 yrs old. a small city i went back to my city 23yrs later is not small city is a metropolitan city grew up 5 times since i left,u know what i would not change my past for anything.my friends from the neighborghood,from high school,and even my 1st year of college.but also love this country feels like is mine.my hearts belongs to both guayaquil-ecuador and lancaster ca usa.this country gave me a wife 3 kids,my home and 2dogs and a mortgage usa#1
I grew up in Beekmantown NY, about 5000 people. They only have two flashing traffic lights and no post office! This song makes me think of home. I may be 50% redneck but I wouldn't give up my small town childhood experience for anything! Proud of my roots. Posted this to Facebook tonight to salute all of my fellow Beekmantown peeps!
Coach Knight (1:26) and John Mellencamp, two guys that make me so proud to be from small town Indiana! I love where I'm from, and wouldn't change it for anything.
I was born in a town with 50,000 ppl, and moved 5 miles away to a town that has 3500 people,so I was born in a small town and moved to an even smaller town,I mean a hole in the road

@sarahetludlow1 small minds are everywhere,i here about dumb farmers,well if i was to run a farm i would not know what to do. what i seen on tv there is alot you have to know to run a farm,and its alot of hard work, to feed people that live in cities,esp the big cities, they go to college then they get a cozy office job and con and stab people in the back,a handshake does not mean a thing or a promise. the hell with a big city..they are exciting if you like getting shot at or mugged.
Prairie Farm, Wisconsin! Population 508. 2 Bars. 1 Dairy State Bank. 1 Mayo Health Clinic. 3 Auto Body shops. 1 small privately owned Grocery store. 1 Meat Processor. 1 Hair Salon.

Tractor pulls during the summer. Snowmobiles running during the winter. When my wife is done with school, I hope to move back to that small town =)
Almost makes my heart hurt watching this, and listening. It brings back a certain "nostalgic feeling" that I never really even encountered much of; which makes me almost think I lived in the 60's-70's in a previous life or something. -Especially when I see the roller-rink at the end,... I dunno... Just really gets me in a sad, yet good way. God Bless ya John!
John's music hits very close to home, I live only 50 miles from Seymour and am a born&raised Hoosier! I love his music, livin in a small town, and Indiana!
my grandfather grew up next to this great man for 10 years in one of the trailor parks in Seymour Indiana they were best friends when john ended up getting famous world wide he asked my grandfather to become his roady but he declined it to be with my grandmother and now my grandfather is slowy being killed by CDF ( congestive heart failure ) and his one dream is to see john once again before he passes
Though I too am Very glad to live back in the small town I lived in, or as one Could say,, lived Just outside of my small town, where we DID have to walk at that time 3 miles to the bus stop, except of course the winter time, due to our winters were what most would say ,, Blizzards ,, but to us that was normal seeing 8 ft of snow ,, but feels Great to be back in my small town :) I like his music as well, even though I disagree with his political views, his music was/is Great !
John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen are the best Rock 'N Roll artists of all time. WHen the other comment said that it reminds that person of Bruce Springsteen's beautiful songs you know his music is similar to Mellencamps with the licks, the sonds of the guitars and of course the drums. Example if you listen to Mellencam's "Crumblin' Down" and SPringsteen's "Pink Catillac" the sound of the drums sounds exactly alike. Even the tempo.
I'm giving a shout out to the small town I was raised for most of my life until I left for college and finally moved from there in 1996. It will always be my town. Haskell, Oklahoma, I'm proud to have grown up and went to Haskell Public Schools. Go Haskell Haymakers. Go HHS Band!!!

@TOSportsFan1990 Fair enough. No one's blaming ya. I live in Burlington now myself. In my perspective, small towns and cities both have their ups and downs:D
Hated my small town as I grew up, everybody knew everybody, one stoplight, no anonymity. What I wouldn't give now for that same thing. This song makes me believe in what my parents, grandparents, et al, believed in: knowing is comforting, you're never alone when hard times come and they WILL come. Thank God for small towns.
@GoldenPig2012 Amen brother . I grew up in small towns, lived in a big city for a lotta years and got out of it..back in a small town now where people still talk to each other as strangers, and walk away as friends . I'm raising my daughter in the small town I grew up in..clean air, low crime, lots to do and every day I live in a post card setting. Its not perfect , but its a small town, and thats good enough for me .
I'm somewhere between where you were growing up, and where you are now... still living in that same small town, and I hate it. The older I get though, the more I'm beginning to understand why I love it...
@GoldenPig2012 I agree ! And moving backj to a small town was the Best thing I did once again after livin in the suburbs for 20 years, though live Just outside of the Suburbs,, but feels Great to live back in the small town !

the town in the video is not a small town. Notus ID pop: 537 people, is a small town ha, The song still hits all those aspects of the small town heart though
I lived in a small town until it got too crowded .damn subdivisions . Moved 3 miles away and across a river . Its just like the old town used to be . Peace and quiet .
dream to have listeners of all ages love the thing I do...I sing from the heart and stay true
I know all of us have dreams and i know my dream can come true with ur help by going on my channel thats all it takes
In the future, I wish to create videos of me singing originals songs. I just hope to have followers when I post them.
And If Everyone Could Just "Thumbs Up" This Comment So Everyone Sees.its just a simple press of a button that could make my dream come true thank you all
Bastrop La, is a small town!!!! and when I was a kid not too awfully long ago my dad and i would sit at the Bomb fire in front of his yard and sing these songs and sip whiskey!! And talk about the old days. I miss him and those days.
My family are from Lawrenceburg, Indiana which is about 40-50 miles down Hwy 50 from Seymour, Indiana which is where John Mellencamp is from, still lives in and was singing about when he recorded this song. It's a slice of Americana ~ rural America, the heart & soul of this country. I lived in Lawrenceburg for awhile, in the early 80's, and will forever love the people and the memories of Southeastern Indiana. For me it's gone now, all of it, but these are real lyrics from a real place.
Funny, my small town is much smaller than his town. What do you expect, he was born in Bloomington, Indiana, B-town is not a small town anymore. I actually live 20 minutes away from Bloomington. I even know where he lives. Met him at Marsh one time before as well.
I was born in a small town, but there is no way in Hell I'm going to stay here till I die. The second I graduate high school, I'm off to the city. I don't care if it's a huge city or a medium one, or what state it's even in. Anything's better than here, and I think I'd go clinically insane if I ended up spending my whole life here.
Maybe some people like small-town life, but I was not built for it.

Please read the prophecies of Linda Newkirk at prophecies org
Important warnings from our Lord about the Antichrist, the Two Witnesses, Revelation 12, the false rapture/alien invasion
Preachers/televangelists will say the invasion is the return of Jesus, many will believe as war and chaos break out

My family are from Lawrenceburg, Indiana which is about 40-50 miles down Hwy 50 from Seymour, Indiana which is where John Mellencamp is from, still lives in and was singing about when he recorded this song. It's a slice of Americana ~ rural America, the heart & soul of this country. I lived in Lawrenceburg for awhile, in the early 80's, and will forever love the people and the memories of Southeastern Indiana. For me it's gone now, all of it, but these are real lyrics from a real place.

Funny, my small town is much smaller than his town. What do you expect, he was born in Bloomington, Indiana, B-town is not a small town anymore. I actually live 20 minutes away from Bloomington. I even know where he lives. Met him at Marsh one time before as well.

I was born in a small town, but there is no way in Hell I'm going to stay here till I die. The second I graduate high school, I'm off to the city. I don't care if it's a huge city or a medium one, or what state it's even in. Anything's better than here, and I think I'd go clinically insane if I ended up spending my whole life here.
Maybe some people like small-town life, but I was not built for it.
