"Small Town After All" lyrics

If you break up, it's gonna take up every single conversation
You'd be the talk of the beauty parlor and the Shell station
Where Daddy fills up on black coffee and red diesel
Ain't good as gold, but dang if they ain't some nosey people
But when the word hits the road, everybody gon' know
What you did, who you with, who you kissing now

'Cause it's a small town after all
Everybody's gonna talk
But it'll be alright because
It's a small town after all (Oh)

So you ride out to your buddy's house just to see what's happening
Then somebody sees your truck, says, "What's up? Let's get that fire cracking"
And then the sun starts to fall, and you make a few calls
Pretty soon that ole moon is shining down on a party

'Cause it's a small town after all
Everybody's gonna talk
But it'll be alright because
It's a small town after all (Oh)

Alright, alright
You can't get away with nothing, you spend Sunday with your cousins
Grandma holding down that oven and loving on her babies
With some biscuits and gravy, mayberry? Yeah, maybe
But that's the way God made it, and I would never change it

'Cause it's a small town after all
Everybody's gonna talk
But it'll be alright because
'Cause it's a small town after all
Everybody's gonna talk
But it'll be alright because
It's a small town after all

You can't get away with nothing
Mm, mm, Granny holding down that oven
Yeah, Sunday hanging with your cousins
It's a small town after all
Oh, mm
It's a small town after all
It's a small town
It's a small town after all
It's a small all y'all, it's a small town after all
