Monique Brumby - Small Town lyrics

Small town, born in a small town Go down to the river just to hang around To escape the idle gossip Who's doin' it with who Who has and who hasn't got it You cannot underestimate word of mouth When you're growin' up in a small town In a small town, a small town Seen the sights a million times The merry go ‘round Your head and your heart in overload ‘cause you're wondering what they'll say when they know Oh how badly you're wanting to go Far from that small town, the small town Take with you a 4 leaf clover, a succulent fruit A parachute and a strong shoulder ‘cause You'll appreciate some luck Extra strength when you're starting up Just remember to be good to all you know ‘cause you're gonna see ‘em again when you come home Back to that small town, the small town For your high school reunion So what you been doin'? And where are you working now? Do you have a family? How many kids? Where do you live? Do you tell ‘em what they really want to know Ah no, it's probably best if you don't After all you're in a small town Everybody knows everybody's business and word gets around They talk in coffee shops, at weekends sailing on their yachts And they really wouldn't understand, they wouldn't understand Where you're going or even where you've been You've traded on your old roller skates and lazy days For the fast life you've been living You rode along the rivers in Paris and in New York City But that all seems so far away now, ah now Back here in this small town word gets around When you're growin' up in a small town
