Dm Dm Dm C G

[Verse 1]
        Dm
Yeah, a small-town girl ought to know better
Dm
Than to ride through town on a Friday night
Dm
Go haulin' 'round stuff that belongs to another
Dm
And leanin' on over at a red light
Dm
That's right

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


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


[Verse 2]
Dm
Yeah, a small-town boy shoulda learned from his mama
Dm
Hell has no fury like a woman scorned
Dm
There's a big backlash on backroad drama
       D5
'Cause girls like you ain't nothing more


[Chorus]

         D
Than the roots running through southern ground
C
Word gets out when you get around
         G
If I was you, I'd be on the lookout
              D
'Cause it's a small town
Dm
It's a small town, girl


[Post-Chorus]
       C         G         D
Ah-a-a-a, ah-a-a-a, ah-a-a-a


[Bridge]
D
There's one Walmart, one church, one bar
  C
I know these roads; I know your car
        Bm
You can run and you can hide
Bm
But it's just a mile wide

    D                                D
The truth catches up in a small town
D               C  D
Oh yes, it does


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

D
Like a train traveling south bound
C
Word gets out by word of mouth
         G
If I was you, I'd be on the lookout
              D
'Cause it's a small town

It's a small town, girl


[Outro]
       C         G         D
Ah-a-a-a, ah-a-a-a, ah-a-a-a
D
Well, it's a small town, girl
       C         G         D   Dm
Ah-a-a-a, ah-a-a-a, ah-a-a-a
Dm                             D  G  D
Well, it's a small town, girl
