Big Day In A Small Town

(Album: Big Day In A Small Town - 2016)

Mama got a call from the Principal's office
"Better get down here fast
'Cause Mandy passed out when her water broke in the middle of geometry class"
Her mama didn't know she was nine months late
Been getting on her 'bout gaining weight
And now she's a grandma

Somebody had a baby
Somebody had a breakdown
Oh, it's a big day
In a small town

Willy Smith swore he wouldn't miss one more
Of Junior's football games
Got his twelve-pack o' Bud and his Friday night buzz
Heading south in the northbound lane
Junior's the endzone, halfback pitch
Willy's sitting upside-down in a ditch
And the crowd goes wild

Somebody rent a pitch
Somebody score a touchdown
Oh, it's a big day
In a small town

There ain't no mall, no waffle house
But there's always something to talk about
Around here, somebody shot a deer
Somebody's getting married, buried, or carried away
The sun comes up
And the sun goes down
Ah, it's a big day
In a small town

Rumour going 'round about a methodist man
And a jailbait checkout queen
His wife caught wind of unspeakable sin
Going down on Aisle 13
She left all the chicken in the frying pan
Drew all the kids in the grand caravan
With a baseball bat

Somebody went to Wal-Mart
In nothing but a night-gown
Oh, it's a big day
In a small town

There ain't no mall, no waffle house
But there's always something to talk about
Around here, somebody shot a deer
Somebody's getting married, buried, or carried away
The sun comes up
And the sun goes down
Ah, it's a big day
In a small town
