Strangers in Small Towns - © 2021 Marti Dodson / Joel Plimmer
Stop in for gas and
Miss Betty starts asking
How I’m holding up
Grabbin’ the paper
Bump into a neighbor
Saying they haven’t seen your truck
Parked in the drive in a while
I tell a lie and I smile - say I’m alright
But I can’t believe
Baby that you changed your mind
Outrunning memories
On every corner in these county lines
There's a dress in the closet I won’t be wearing
Guess when I bought it, I pictured ‘em staring
But not like this, yeah word sure gets around
Ain’t no strangers in small towns
Heard you been showing
Up down at Joe’s when
She works the Wednesday late
Ordering shots that
You don’t even want just
So you have a reason to stay
How did we end up this way
But I can’t believe
Baby that you changed your mind
Outrunning memories
On every corner in these county lines
There's a dress in the closet I won’t be wearing
Guess when I bought it, I pictured ‘em staring
But not like this, yeah word sure gets around
Ain’t no strangers in small towns
Swore I knew you like I knew myself
But I was wrong
Maybe you were more of a stranger
Than I thought all along
I can’t believe
Baby that you changed your mind
I can’t believe
Baby that you changed your mind
Outrunning memories
On every corner in these county lines
There's a dress in the closet I won’t be wearing
Guess when I bought it, I pictured ‘em staring
But not like this, yeah word sure gets around
