There used to be places only we would go
Under the shade of the oak tree over the old dirt road
This town was our kingdom, I was your whole world
Right from the moment we met, I knew that you would be my girl
But people get older, hearts they grow colder
Now there ain't no place that I can hide
'Cause there's nowhere to run to in a small town
There's nowhere the memory don't follow me around
'Cause you're there on every corner
Every street is us
There's no bigger way of breaking up
Than in a small town
In a small town, mm-mm
From the old churchyard, to the corner store
It's like everywhere that I go, your face is living in the walls (living in the walls)
'Cause there's no escaping who we used to be
This town is a hot, dry, dusty love song to you and me
But people get older, hearts they grow colder
Now there ain't no place that I can hide
'Cause there's nowhere to run to in a small town
There's nowhere the memory don't follow me around
'Cause you're there on every corner
Every street is us
There's no bigger way of breaking up
Than in a small town
In a small town (in a small town)
I know that everybody's talking
Choosing the words they say with caution
All of the whispers sound like shouting in my ears
'Cause there's nowhere to run to in a small town
There's nowhere the memory don't follow me around
There's no keeping secrets in a small town (in a small town)
There's a real good chance that's all that anyone's talkin' 'bout
You're there on every corner
Every street is us
There's no bigger way of breaking up
Than in a small town
(In a small town, living in a small town)
When you're living in a small town, living in a small town
(In a small town, living in a small town)
(In a small town, living in a small town)
In a small town
