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

'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
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, yeah

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

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

You were supposed to be a small town

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

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
