Well, I've been lost in this town   Even though I know my way around   Didn't take me long until I found the devil      With just one word I knew his voice   Is the one I heard in every choice   I made just trying to be a rebel   In a small town, in a small town      If you jumped off of our front porch   You'd land right where the Civil War was fought   And it's never been forgotten      It's twenty miles to the interstate   There's a Burger King and a Motel 8   And the only thing 'tween here and there is cotton      Jeffrey prays to Jesus asking Him please   Just help us through one more day   Jenny gets high, she wastes her life, but me I just ran away   From a small town, from a small town      Sometimes it was heaven, sometimes hell   Kinda like church, kinda like jail   There's a water tower says, 'Welcome to nowhere'      As soon as I could I was long gone   My jeans were torn and my hair was long   Now I can't believe I wanna go back there   To a small town, to a small town      Jeffrey prays to Jesus asking Him please   Just help us through one more day   Jenny gets high, she wastes her life   But me I just ran away but I knew I'd come back some day   To a small town, to a small town   Oh to a small town, to a small town      Oh to a small town
