Big Country - Small Town Big News lyrics

She was born out of wedlock When the summer turned to autumn Somebody saw her daddy at the bus stop They said he looked like a guy off the Waltons Ain’t nothing new, it ain’t all that strange It won’t matter much in the scheme of things There’s a lot to say, but not much to do But for a small town it was big news Small town big news She skipped out of high school With a guy on a motorcycle In a short skirt and too much rouge She wasn’t really dressed for revival Ain’t nothing new, it ain’t all that strange It won’t matter much in the scheme of things There’s a lot to say, but not much to do But for a small town it was big news Small town big news You are only the window It’s all black and white You can see a whole lot more If you could stand out of sight A fool could see she didn’t love him But nobody stopped the wedding At least she’s doing better than her mama With a daddy for a baby and a cold drink Ain’t nothing new, it ain’t all that strange It won’t matter much in the scheme of things There’s a lot to say, but not much to do But for a small town it was big news Small town big news Small town big news Real big news
