Small Talk Café (feat. Ricky Skaggs & Sharon White Skaggs)

There's a paper in the box outside, headline reads 'Nixon died'

Don't nobody pay no mind, they just go on 'bout their way

But Hubert Turner's barn burned down, says he lost three good cows

And that's big news at the small talk cafe

It's a meetin' place at the break of day for the people in this town

And things that happen 'round these parts are all they care about

Widow Cooper had a man come callin' yesterday

And that's big news at the small talk cafe

The shuttle makes another trip, market takes a record dip

Folks don't think too much of it and in walks Luther James

He says there was a wreck last night, truck took out the Co-Op sign

And that's big news at the small talk cafe

It's a meetin' place at the break of day for the people in this town

And things that happen 'round these parts are all they care about

They say it's been so dry this year there won't be any hay

And that's big news at the small talk cafe

Well I can see 'em all in there, every face in every chair

I bet they're all wondering where I've been these past few days

When they hear that you left me, don't you know that's gonna be

Big news at the small talk cafe?

It's a meetin' place at the break of day for the people in this town

Things that happen round these parts are all they care about

They'll say they've never seen a man fall apart this way

And that's big news at the small talk cafe

Yeah, that's big news at the small talk cafe
