Life In A Small Town
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
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
