[Verse 1]

Everywhere I go, there's somebody I know

And that somebody knows my mama and her maiden name

I know all the spots, the couple few you got

Twenty-six years here, nothing 'bout you's really changed

So when she said she needed space, thought I'd still see her face

[Chorus]

'Cause you were supposed to be a small town

But I ain't even got a call 'bout

Somebody seen her at the mall, how

Are you doing this to me? Three lights

And I ain't even seen her Hyundai

Parkеd outside of church on Sunday

While I'm in therе praying one day

You won't be big enough to keep the both of us

From falling back in love, man, what's up?

You were supposed to be a small town, yeah

[Verse 2]

No, she ain't in your bars, she ain't on your roads

She ain't filling up at the pump at the Texaco

She loves you too much to pack it up and leave

Wish I could say the same about me

[Chorus]

You were supposed to be a small town

But I ain't even got a call 'bout

Somebody seen her at the mall, how

Are you doing this to me? Three lights

And I ain't even seen her Hyundai

Parked outside of church on Sunday

While I'm in there praying one day

You won't be big enough to keep the both of us

From falling back in love, man, what's up?

You were supposed to be a small town

No, but you ain't feeling small now

I was supposed to see her all around

'Cause you were supposed to be small town, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

You were supposed to be a small town

[Chorus]

We were gonna build a farmhouse

On some land her parents carved out

Might as well have carved my heart out

'Cause you and me both know

She's probably right down the road

Getting more than cool with

Some guy that we both went to school with

Now I'm on this barstool wishing

You'd stop being big enough to keep the both of us

From falling back in love, what the fuck?

You were supposed to be a small town

[Outro]

Yeah, you were supposed to be a small town

I was supposed to see her all around

'Cause you were supposed to be a small town
