Mama got a call from the principal's office
Better get down here fast

In the middle of geometry class

Been getting on her about gaining weight
And now she's a grandma

Verse:
B
Well, Eddie Smith swore he wouldn't miss one more
Of Junior's football games
Got his twelve pack of Bud and his Friday night buzz
Heading south in the north bound lane

Juniors in the endzone half back pitch

Willie's sitting upside down in a ditch
And the crowd goes wild
BREAK:

Somebody wrecked a pick up
E
Somebody scored a touchdown

Aaah, it's a big day
B
In a small town
[Refrão] B
There ain't no mall
No waffle house
But there's always something to talk about

Around here
Somebody shot a deer

Somebody's getting married
Or buried
Or carried away

The sun comes up
E
And the sun goes down

In a small town
Verse:
B
Women go around about a Methodist man
And a jail bait check out queen
His wife caught wind of unspeakable sin
Going down on aisle thirteen

She left all the chicken in the frying pan

And threw all the kids in a grand caravan
With a baseball bat
BREAK:
F#
Somebody went to Wal-mart
E
In nothing but a night gown
F#
Aaah, it's a big day
B
In a small town

There ain't no mall
No waffle house
But there's always something to talk about

Somebody shot a deer

Or buried
Or carried away

And the sun goes down
