Little Towns of Pain Lyrics

This highway is meaner than a dozen devils

Rebels ride a hundred miles of hurt

There's no guarantee of what you'll see

We're all born from the same sinful dirt

The road back home is always longer

One church towns flash past in a wide open land

Feel the pain of a small town's torture

Under the gun in a righteous hand

She was reading her Bible but he says they went to bed

That's how rumors start and like fire they get spread

It's all about the shakedown as the plate gets passed down to you

Financing shame to thine own self can't be true

Everyone knows your business protect your name

Theres no way out it seems of these little towns of pain

The blues drove through the middle of Texas

The dead danced a hundred years straight

They learned the truth that to love one another

Is so much harder than it is to hate

Not every girl can be the prom queen

And idle hands tend to make a scene

It's all about the shakedown as the plate gets passed down to you

Financing shame to thine own self can't be true

Everyone knows your business protect your name

Theres no way out it seems of these little towns of pain

Phobias and commandments

Leaving you feeling out of place

I'm rolling through another small town

Where it's so sad and so bad they keep their heads down

A Mississippi highway in a hard pouring rain

Carousels of drama in little towns of pain

Houses falling down by the road

People feeling trapped and their hearts turning cold

It's all about the shakedown as the plate gets passed down to you

Financing shame to thine own self can't be true

Everyone knows your business protect your name

Theres no way out it seems of these little towns of pain
