Small Town Big News

She was born out of wedlock
When the summer turned to autumn
Somebody saw her daddy at the bus stop
They said he looked like a guy off the Waltons

Ain’t nothing new, it ain’t all that strange
It won’t matter much in the scheme of things
There’s a lot to say, but not much to do
But for a small town it was big news
Small town big news

She skipped out of high school
With a guy on a motorcycle
In a short skirt and too much rouge
She wasn’t really dressed for revival

‘Tain’t nothing new, it ain’t all that strange
It won’t matter much in the scheme of things
There’s a lot to say, but not much to do
But for a small town it was big news
Small town big news

Through our own little window
It’s all black and white
You can see a whole lot more
If you could step outside

A fool could see she didn’t love him
But nobody stopped the wedding
At least she’s doing better than her mama
With a daddy for a baby and a gold ring

‘Tain’t nothing new, it ain’t all that strange
It won’t matter much in the scheme of things
There’s a lot to say, but not much to do
But for a small town it was big news
Small town big news

Small town big news
Real big news
