"This Town" lyrics

This Town

We had a girl that came in with a drug overdose
The other day
And she got real belligerent
And she bit one of the nurses
And, I mean, she bit you could see every tooth
It took two or three of us to get her off of her
It's a crazy Wednesday

We finally got a flashing light
They put it in last year
And everybody got real happy
When the grocery store got here
And last time the census men came a-knocking
We were busting at the seams
Aw, but don't you forget it
As big as we're getting
This town's too small to be mean

Big enough for a zipcode
A VFW
A good Mexican restaurant
A beauty shop or two
Got a Methodist, a Baptist
And a Church of the Nazarene
Aw, but don't you forget it
As big as we're getting
This town's too small to be mean
Yeah, it's too dang small to be mean

Too small to be lying
Way too small to cheat
Way too small for secrets
Cause they're way too hard to keep
And somebody's mama knows somebody's cousin
And somebody's sister knows somebody's husband
And somebody's daughter knows somebody's brother
And around here, we all look out for each other

You'll end up in the paper
Wreck your family name
What goes around comes back around
By Friday's football game
We only got one sheriff
But we all know how to keep the peace
Aw, and don't you forget it
As big as we're getting
This town's too small to be mean

Too small to be lying
Way too small to cheat
Way too small for secrets
Cause they're way too hard to keep
And somebody's mama knows somebody's cousin
And somebody's sister knows somebody's husband
And somebody's daughter knows somebody's brother
And around here, we all look out for each other

Yeah, somebody's mama knows somebody's cousin
And somebody's sister knows somebody's husband
And somebody's daughter knows somebody's brother
And around here, we all look out for each other
