You can talk about the weather

Or the mayor's sister

You can talk about small talk

You can walk the city limits

In a matter of minutes

Talk about taking a walk

You can count the stars in the clear night sky

Or sit back and listen while the train rolls by



Hey it's a small town

They roll the sidewalks up

Come around sundown

Hey it's a small town

The place where we grew up

And still hang around



That rich young widow

Keeps talkin' to the preacher

Lord help their souls be saved

And Mr. Johnson's daughter

Flew in from Nevada

When they put him in his grave

Tommy took a summer job in Pontiac

He's still writing letters but he's not coming back



Hey it's a small town

They roll the sidewalks up

Come around sundown

Hey it's a small town

The place where we grew up

And still hang around



Hey it's a small town

They roll the sidewalks up

Come around sundown

Hey it's a small town

The place where we grew up

And still hang around



I'm easy to be found

Hey it's a small town
