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 water
It 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
And for a small town it was 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
It 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
And for a small town it was big news

Through our only little window
It's all gold, black and white
We could see a whole lot more
If we 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 the baby and a cold drink
It 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

And for a small town it was big news
Small town big news

Small town big
Real big news
