Well, I also live in a small town and, even though I love it, I can still relate to this song. You have to remember not to take artists literally. I think this song is more about life in general. Nothing ever changes, people never learn. When you turn on the TV everyday, it's always the same old body count with different names.
Also, I'm being raised in a conveyor belt family where everyone goes to a small college and becomes a lawyer. I want to break out of the cycle and major in math or science at some place like Duke or UNC. Jon Bon Jovi was born in the North East. I don't see him literally writing about a small town. He leaves that to Mellencamp(who does it well).
