Break Up In A Small Town |
I knew I’d see her around |
I’d be at some party, she’d show up and I’d be walking out |
Or across some parking lot hiding behind her sister |
I’d look up, she’d be at the red light beside me |
In that white Maxima with the sticker on the back |
I’d act like I didn’t see her |
We’d pay at the same pumps |
Flip through the same stations |
And slow down for the same curves |
Run around with the same crowds |
We just needed some time |
She could get on with her life and I’d get on with mine |
Thought I would be fine, heh, but maybe not |
I knew she’d find a way to get over me |
But I’d never thought that… |
She would get down with somebody I know |
I guess that’s just how it goes |
When you break up in a small town |
I see our friends and they put on a show |
Like they don’t want me to know |
So they give me the go-around |
But there’s only so many streets, so many lights |
I swear it’s like I can’t even leave my house |
I should’ve known all along |
You gotta move or move on |
When you break up in a small town |
For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key |
But now it’s like these county lines are closing in on me |
I see 'em everywhere together |
And it’s hitting a little too close to home |
She’s so far gone, but she didn’t go far |
She was over me before the grass grew back where she used to park her car |
She’s leaving those same marks in someone else’s yard |
In someone else’s arms right down the road |
And I never thought that… |
She would get down with somebody I know |
I guess that’s just how it goes |
When you break up in a small town |
I see our friends and they put on a show |
Like they don’t want me to know |
So they give me the go-around |
But there’s only so many streets, so many lights |
I swear it’s like I can’t even leave my house |
I should’ve known all along |
You gotta move or move on |
When you break up in a small town |
Her mailbox is seven minutes from mine |
And I drive into town sometimes I see you sittin' there with him |
And I wanna jump out |
I wanna fight |
I wanna say, «…that guy!» |
but I can’t |
It’s my fault, I let her go |
I never thought that… |
She would get down with somebody I know |
I guess that’s just how it goes |
When you break up in a small town |
I see our friends and they put on a show |
They don’t want me to know |
So they give me the go-around |
But there’s only so many streets, so many lights |
I swear it’s like I can’t even leave my house |
I should’ve known all along |
You gotta move or move on |
When you break up in a small town |
