Every Little Town

Every little town has that place everybody knows Deep in the backwoods, we go we go End of the day to get away from all that small town talkin Two minute drive, maybe 15 if you're walking That bonfire burnin' through the trees Circle of headlights, it's always gonna be Has-been prom queen down on her luck That guy who's a little too old and drinks a little too much That quarterback king talkin' about his 50 yard pass The kid who works hard at the Shell pumping gas And a dreamer, and a schemer, and a favorite son And that girl that got away Every little town's got one In every little town there's a bar that never ID's Kids cuttin' class losing money in the VLTs Serves the best fries that you've ever had Jukebox in the corner stuck at full blast Sitting around those tables week after week Has-been prom queen down on her luck That guy who's a little too old and drinks a little too much That quarterback king talkin' about his 50 yard pass The kid who works hard at the Shell pumping gas And a dreamer, and a schemer, and a favorite son And that girl that got away Every little town's got one Every little town's got a dreamer like me Who says he'll never come back But never leaves Has-been prom queen down on her luck That guy who's a little too old and drinks a little too much That quarterback king talkin' about his 50 yard pass The kid who works hard at the Shell pumping gas And a dreamer, and a schemer, and a favorite son And that girl that got away Every little town's got one Every little town's got one Every little town's got one
