HELLO FRIEND I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE BOUND
BUT WELCOME TO THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING TOWN
BEFORE TOO LONG YOU'LL BE THE LATEST RUMOR GOIN' 'ROUND
THEY'LL ALL SMILE AND WAVE, THEY'LL ALL KNOW YOUR NAME

YEAH, IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO, IT'S ALL WHO YOU KNOW
SO STEP RIGHT UP AND TAKE A SHOT AT THE STATUS QUO
OH AND LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO SOME GOOD GOD FEARIN' FOLK
HEAR THE CHURCH BELLS RING, LISTEN TO THE CHOIR SING

CHORUS
WHITE FENCES, PEACH PIE
AIR KISSES WISHIN' YOU WELL
THEY'RE SO SWEET, THEY'RE SO NICE
BUT IF YOU GET A SECRET, YOU BETTER NOT TELL
STREET CORNERS, BACKYARDS
A GOOD FICTION IS BETTER THAN FACT
THEY'RE MASTERS OF THE ART
OF BLESS YOUR HEART WITH A KNIFE IN YOUR BACK
THIS TOWN IS THAT SMALL

SO HELP YOURSELF TO SOME HOSPITALITY
MAKE YOUR PLACE WITH YOUR BRAND NEW SCALED-DOWN DREAMS
YOU MIGHT THINK YOU'RE FREE TO GO BUT YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE
SO FIND YOURSELF SOME SHADE AND POUR SOME LEMONADE

CHORUS

BRIDGE
THEY LOVE TO BUILD YOU UP JUST TO KNOCK YOU DOWN
CAUSE THIS TOWN - THIS TOWN IS

CHORUS
