Mama got a call from the principal's office 

Better get down here fast 

'Cause Mindy passed out when her water broke 

In the middle of geometry class 
     E                                     
Her mama didn't know she was nine months late 
                                        B 
Been getting on her about gaining weight 

And now she's a grandma

In a small town 


Verse: 
        B 
Well, Eddie Smith swore he wouldn't miss one more  

Of Junior's football games 

Got his twelve pack of Bud and his Friday night buzz 

Heading south in the north bound lane 
 E 
Juniors in the endzone half back pitch 
                                       B

And the crowd goes wild

Aaah, it's a big day  
       B 
In a small town 
 
  B 
There ain't no mall 

No waffle house 

But there's always something to talk about  
        E 
Around here 


Somebody shot a deer 
                    B 
Somebody's getting married  

Or buried 

Or carried away 

              F# 
The sun comes up 
                  E 
And the sun goes down 
              F#      
Aaah, it's a big day 
       B 
In a small town 



Verse: 
 B 
Women go around about a Methodist man 

And a jail bait check out queen 

His wife caught wind of unspeakable sin 

Going down on aisle thirteen 
     E 
She left all the chicken in the frying pan 
                                       B 
And threw all the kids in a grand caravan 

With a baseball bat

Somebody went to Wal-mart 
                  E 
In nothing but a night gown 
             F#       
Aaah, it's a big day 
       B 
In a small town 

  B 
There ain't no mall 

No waffle house 

But there's always something to talk about  
        E 
Around here 


Somebody shot a deer 
                    B 
Somebody's getting married  

Or buried 

Or carried away 

              F# 
The sun comes up  
                  E 
And the sun goes down

Hey, in a small town
