Yeah, a small-town girl oughta know better

Than to ride through town on a friday night

Go haulin' 'round stuff that belongs to another

And leanin' on over at a red light

That's right

Yeah, a small-town girl oughta grow up knowing

That 'round here you can't be a liar

One little spark gonna wind up smoking

And gonna spread like a wildfire.

Like the roots running through southern ground

Word gets out when you get around

If I was you, I'd be on the lookout

'cause it's a small town

It's a small town, girl.

Yeah, a small-town boy shoulda learned from his mama

Hell has no fury like a woman scorned

There's a big backlash on backroad drama

'cause girls like you ain't nothing more.

Than the roots running through southern ground

Word gets out when you get around

If I was you, I'd be on the lookout

'cause it's a small town

It's a small town, girl.

Oh-oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh...

There's one walmart, one church, one bar

I know these roads, I know your car

You can run and you can hide

But it's just a mile wide

The truth catches up in a small town

Oh yes, it does.

Like the roots running through southern ground

Word gets out when you get around

If I was you, I'd be on the lookout

'cause it's a small town

Like a train traveling south bound

Word gets out by word of mouth

If I was you, I'd be on the lookout

'cause it's a small town

It's a small town, girl.

Oh-oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh...

Well, it's a small town, girl

Oh-oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh...

Well, it's a small town, girl.
