John Mellencamp - Small Paradise Lyrics






Two veteran lovers french kiss in the doorway
Their ears are cold but their hearts are so warm
A country band playin' down the street just a little ways
They're whiskey wild, they keep it up until dawn

[Chorus:]
Small Paradise
I glad to see everything's alright with you
Alright then hold me tight - kiss me
Small Paradise

A neon sign blinks outside in the pouring rain
It's ladies night free drinks until 10
Some people walk on by, hey girl don't
I know you, won't you come on in
Well it ain't love but it ain't bad

[Chorus 2x]

John Mellencamp Small Paradise Comments

    I heard John talking about his albums in the early days being awful and to me its right the opposite. This song, Aint even done with the night, Hurts so good. were his best efforts. After American fool I lost interest in him. Cherry Bomb, paper in fire, small town, blah blah, His best songs were his early stuff and his career showed that. When he went commercial in the late 80's his career died. The silent majority of us stopped buying the prepackaged pop fluff songs.
