"Small Town After All" lyrics

If I lived in Los Angeles I think I'd be okay
I could drive to the beach or walk down the street and never see your face
If I lived in New York City I think I'd have it made
I could meet a pretty thing on the subway train and start all over again
But this population sign might as well just say you and I

'Cause my best friends are friends with your friends
So I can't go downtown
And our favorite bar is the only bar
Now I can't buy a round
It's so damn hard not to see your car every time I leave the house
You said goodbye but you're never really gone
It's a small town after all
(It's a small town after all)
(It's a small town after all)

When I was growing up 'round here this whole place seemed so big
I'd look up at the stars, play out in the yard and never feel fenced in
But my whole world feels smaller now than it ever used to be
Oh how can I forget you in a place we'll never leave?

'Cause my best friends are friends with your friends
So I can't go downtown
And our favorite bar is the only bar
Now I can't buy a round
It's so damn hard not to see your car every time I leave the house
You said goodbye but you're never really gone
It's a small town after all

This population sign might as well just say you and I

'Cause my best friends are friends with your friends
So I can't go downtown
And our favorite bar is the only bar
Now I can't buy a round
It's so damn hard not to see your car every time I leave the house
You said goodbye but you're never really gone
It's a small town after all
(It's a small town after all)
(It's a small town after all)
It's a small town after all
(It's a small town after all)
(It's a small town after all)
