D
Yeah, a small-town girl oughta know better
D
Than to ride through town on a Friday night
D
Go haulin' 'round stuff that belongs to another
N.C.
And leanin' on over at a red light

That's right
D
Yeah, a small-town girl oughta grow up knowing
D
That 'round here you can't be a liar
D
One little spark gonna wind up smoking
N.C.
And gonna spread like a wildfire


[Chorus]
D                         Dsus/C
Like the roots running through the southern ground
Dsus/C
Word gets out when you get around
Dsus/C        Asus2
If I was you, I'd be on the lookout
Asus2        D
'Cause it's a small town
D
It's a small town, girl
D                  Dsus/C
Oh,        oh,     oh,      oh
Dsus/C             Asus2
Oh,        oh,     oh,      oh
Asus2              D
Oh,        oh,     oh,      oh



[Verse 2]
D
Yeah, a small-town boy shoulda learned from his mama
D
Hell has no fury like a woman scorned
D
There's a big backlash on backroad drama
N.C.
'Cause girls like you ain't nothing more


[Chorus]
D                              Dsus/C
Than the roots running through southern ground
Dsus/C
Word gets out when you get around
Dsus/C        Asus2
If I was you, I'd be on the lookout
Asus2        D
'Cause it's a small town
D
It's a small town, girl
D                 Dsus/C
Oh,        oh,     oh,      oh
Dsus/C             Asus2
Oh,        oh,     oh,      oh
Asus2              D
Oh,        oh,     oh,      oh

[Bridge]
D
There's one Walmart, one church, one bar
Dsus2/C
I know these roads, I know your car
Asus2
You can run and you can hide
Asus2
But it's just a mile wide
N.C.
The truth catches up in a small town

Oh yes, it does

[Chorus]
D                                  Dsus/C
Like the roots running through the southern ground
Dsus/C
Word gets out when you get around
Dsus/C        Asus2
If I was you, I'd be on the lookout
Asus2        D
'Cause it's a small town
D
It's a small town, girl
D                  Dsus/C
Oh,        oh,     oh,      oh
Dsus/C             Asus2
Oh,        oh,     oh,      oh
Asus2              D
Oh,        oh,     oh,      oh
