Small Town, Girl

[Intro]
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
