Life In A Small Town Lyrics

This is the town I was raised in

A town you feel safe in

The local Sunday paper was the only place you got your news

It's where my parents were married

And my great grandparents buried

Five generations sat in those Sanctuary pues

Where everybody knows

All your little things

And the pile of broken dreams that haunt you

Oh where everybody knows

All about your scars

And the ones that broke your heart in high school

Life in a small town

You've been running all your life trying to get out

Now you're out of gasoline but you can't slow down

It's all you're thinking about

Life in a small town

I swear the people don't leave here

And that's exactly what I feared

Knew if I didn't go now I might die here on my own

The big city was calling

So I packed up the U-haul and

Drove out of the only place that I'd ever called my home

Where everybody knows

Everybody else

Even better than themselves or so it seems

Oh and everybody knows

The gossip that gets told

It's the ones who ain't that bold they all speak

Life in a small town

You've been running all your life trying to get out

Now you're out of gasoline but you can't slow down

It's all you're thinking about

Life in a small town

Life in a small town

You been running all your life trying to get out

Now you're out of gasoline but you can't slow down

It's all you're thinking about

Life in a small town

Life in a small town
