In My Little Town

Reprise (Long Version)
Friend, let me tell you about my little town
She’s a downhome beauty, second to none
The prettiest place that you ever have seen
Friendliest folks if you know what I mean

Well, there’s big drama in my little town
Where the rumors go on round and round
Got the sniffles at noon, you’re dead by 9
You don’t lose your partner, you lose your place in line

Where a little bit of indiscretion
Can lead to a nasty reputation
Where too much drink and too much song
Is guaranteed to treat you wrong

In my little town
Yeah, In my little town

There’s this smoking hot blue jean baby
Loves to drive all the cowboys crazy
But there’s more to her than meets the eye
All the shadow and rouge disguise a lie
Well there’s something else you should know
Her hubby's propped up there at the door
Drunk as Hell, he won’t do a thing
But, the babies at home will ruin your swing

In my little town
Yeah, In my little town

Well, there’s big drama in my little town
Where the rumors go on round and round
Got the sniffles at noon, you’re dead by 9
You don’t lose your partner, you lose your place in line
Where a little bit of indiscretion
Can lead to a nasty reputation
Where too much drink and too much song
Is guaranteed to treat you wrong

Well, A good time can be had by all
Just check your conscience at the door
Just know this and know it well
You mess around here, it might be hell

In my little town
Yeah, In my little town

In my little town
Yeah, In my little town
