The thing is, the town isn’t really as wonderful as they’re describing it. Small towns rarely are; the people make it so. But they’re right about the beauty of the nature around them - the trees that go on forever, the colors of the leaves in autumn. The important thing is that the women believe the town is beautiful, and wonderful, and a good place to call home. Believing in it is what makes it so. It’s what inspires everyone in town to make it so. So the song is really about the dream of a place, and how dreaming can make it come true, and that it really is worthwhile to imagine the world as better than it is, because that’s how you make the world better. It’s a song about hope and about finding the place where you belong.
