[Verse 1]
This old bar smells like whiskey and rain
Neon buzzin' but it don’t ease the pain
Dust on my boots from the road I walked
Small town whispers louder than talk
[Prechorus]
Every street’s got a secret
Every name’s got a past
[Chorus]
In this small town where the nights don’t sleep
Where the roads run hard and the roots run deep
Every glance is a story
Every face a frown
But I can’t seem to leave this small town
[Verse 2]
Trucks line up like soldiers in the square
Moonlight bends
It’s hanging in the air
The preacher’s daughter
She’s dancing wild
Her daddy’s sermon can’t tame the child
[Prechorus]
Every heart’s got a crack
Every dream’s got a chain
[Chorus]
In this small town where the nights don’t sleep
Where the roads run hard and the roots run deep
Every glance is a story
Every face a frown
But I can’t seem to leave this small town
