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
