Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were leanin' on a tailgate
Laughin' like you owned that field
Spinnin' little stories 'bout me
Like the truth was somethin' you could steal
You said I begged you just to stay
Said I cried there on my knees
Funny how your friends stayed quiet
Starin' down at their boots and beer
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause they were there that Friday
Heard you slam your truck in drive
Heard me tell you, “Go on, honey
You ain't worth another mile”
[Chorus]
'Cause it's a small town, word travels fast
Every little whisper, every lie you pass
You tried to paint me foolish
Tried to stain my name like glass
But baby, this place knows better than that
Yeah, in this small town, word travels fast
And they see through your bullshit
Like a pane in the churchhouse glass
[Verse 2]
You were runnin' down Main Street
Tongue loose as a porch screen door
Tellin' how you walked away
Sayin' you didn't love me anymore
You left out the late-night messages
Blowin' up my old cracked phone
You left out the way you begged me
“Please don't leave me here alone”
[Pre-Chorus]
But my cousin pours your coffee
At the diner every day
He heard you say you miss me
When you thought he looked away
[Chorus]
It's a small town, word travels fast
Every little whisper, every lie you cast
You tried to make me stupid
Tried to turn me into your past
But baby, this place knows better than that
Yeah, in this small town, word travels fast
And they see through your bullshit
Like smoke from a burned-out match
[Bridge]
[Breakdown, just guitar and vocal]
You can't hide a storm cloud
Over fields this flat
You can't change the ending
Once the story's passed
You can laugh a little louder
You can swear it's all my fault
But these folks have known me
Since my feet first hit this chalk
[Verse 3]
Now you're standin' at the barroom
Throwin' shadows on my name
Sayin' I'm the crazy one
You're the victim in this game
But your best friend pulled me aside
Said, “Girl, I know how you tried
We all heard the way he talked to you
We ain't takin' in his side”
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you're lookin' kinda cornered
Like a fox caught in daylight
All that talkin' finally trapped you
Every story ain't your right
[Chorus]
'Cause it's a small town, word travels fast
Every crooked sentence, every busted mask
You tried to make me foolish
Tried to drag me through the past
But baby, this place knows better than that
Yeah, in this small town, word travels fast
And they see through your bullshit
Like tracks in the roadside grass
[Chorus]
It's a small town, word travels fast
Truth gets around you, lappin' every lap
You tried to make me stupid
Tried to turn my heart to trash
But baby, this place knows better than that
Yeah, in this small town, word travels fast
They see through your bullshit
And they're laughin' behind your back
[Outro]
So go on, keep talkin'
Let that wild tongue run
In a town this tiny
Everybody knows what you've done
It's a small town, word travels fast
And I'm finally done with that

Style
country, Modern country-bluegrass groove with bright acoustic guitars, banjo rolls, and brushed snare; male vocals upfront with a wry, wounded tone. Verses stay storytelling and intimate, fiddle weaving around the edges; chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a driving upright bass. Bridge drops to just vocal, guitar, and faint fiddle before kicking back into a full, stomping final chorus., bluegrass
