This Town Is That Small

Hello, friend, I don't know where you're bound
Welcome to the incredible shrinking town
Before too long you'll be the latest rumor going 'round
They'll all smile and wave, they'll all know your name

Oh yeah, it's not about what you do, it's all who you know
So, step right up and take a shot at the status quo
Oh, and let me introduce you to some good God fearin' folk
Hear the church bells ring, listen to the choir sing

White fences, peach pie
Air kisses, wishing you well
You're so sweet, so nice
But if you got a secret, well, you better not tell

Street corners, backyards
A good fiction is better than fact
They're masters of the art
Of 'Bless Your Heart' with a knife in your back
'Cause this town is that small, this town is that small

So, help yourself to some hospitality
Make your peace with your brand new scaled down dreams
You may think you're free to go but you'll never leave
So, find yourself some shade and pour some lemonade

White fences, peach pie
Air kisses, wishing you well
You're so sweet, so nice
But if you got a secret, well, you better not tell

Street corners, backyards
A good fiction is better than fact
But they're masters of the art
Of 'Bless Your Heart' with a knife in your back
This town is that small, this town is that small, oh, yeah

They love to build you up just to knock you down
'Cause this town, this town is

White fences, peach pie
Air kisses, wishing you well
You're so sweet, so nice
But if you got a secret, well you better not tell

Street corners, backyards
Good fiction is better than fact
They're masters of the art
Of 'Bless Your Heart' with a knife in your back
This town is that small, this town is that small, yeah
This town is that small, this town is that small, yeah

But if you got a secret, you better not tell, no
You better not tell, well, no, you better not tell
