You can talk about the weather or the Mayor's sister   You can talk about small talk   You can walk the city limits in a matter of minutes   Talk about taking a walk      You can count the stars in the clear night sky   Or sit back and listen while the train rolls by      Hey it's a small town, they roll the sidewalks up   Come around sundown   Hey it's a small town, the place where we grew up   And still hang around      That rich young widow keeps talkin' to the preacher   Lord help their souls be saved   And Mr. Johnson's daughter flew in from Nevada   When they put him in his grave      Tommy took a summer job in Pontiac   He's still writing letters but he's not coming back      Hey it's a small town, they roll the sidewalks up   Come around sundown   Hey it's a small town, the place where we grew up   And still hang around      Hey it's a small town, they roll the sidewalks up   Come around sundown   Hey it's a small town, the place where we grew up   And still hang around, I'm easy to be found   Hey it's a small town
