In a Small Town Well I've been lost in this town Even though I know my way around Didn't take me long until I found the devil With just one word I knew his voice Is the one I heard in every choice I made Just trying to be a rebel In a small town, in a small town
If you jumped off of our front porch You'd land right where the Civil War was fought And it's never been forgotten It's twenty miles to the interstate There's a Burger King and a Motel 8 And the only thing between here and there is cotton
And Jeffrey prays to Jesus asking him please just help us through one more day Jenny gets high, she wastes her life, but me I just ran away From a small town, from a small town
Sometimes it was heaven, sometimes hell
Kinda like church, kinda like jail There's a water tower says 'Welcome to nowhere' As soon as I could I was long gone My jeans were torn and my hair was long Now I can't believe I wanna go back there To a small town, to a small town
Jeffrey prays to Jesus asking him please just help us through one more day Jenny gets high, she wastes her life, but me I just ran away But I knew I'd come back some day To a small town, to a small town Oh to a small town, to a small town
