If you're headin' down the highway, down about route ten
D7
Get off on the last exit and take it around the bend
G
You'll find a small town
D
But don't go hangin' around
A7
'Cos hate lives in a small town
G D
'Least that's what I have found
D
The moms are in the kitchens, and they're baking pies
D7
They smell so good, they're made to cover up the smell of lies
G
They're in a small town
D
But pies don't cure all ills
A7
And hate lives in a small town
G D
That's why those moms take pills
G
Well, I went to the big city
D
And everyone was wearing black
G
If they saw that in my home town
A7 D
They wouldn't stand for that
G
I saw kids all covered in tattoos
D
With Mohawks and purple hair
A7
But what really struck me
G D
Was no one seemed to care
D
The Knights they beat the Badgers when they played down in a square
D7
But they saved the biggest beating for a kid with longish hair
G
They're in a small town
D
That kid was me one year
A7
'Cos hate lives in a small town
G D
More so if you seem queer
D
The pastors in the pulpit, preachin' righteous lies
D7
And the congregation, they don't know he slept with all their wives
G
They're in a small town
D
And it's clear clear to see
A7
That hate lives in a small town
G D
As does adultery
G
Well, I went to the big city
D
With my clothes in a pack
G
When I got off at the station
A7 D
There was no turning back
G
I met freaks and creeps and weirdos
D
Loose women and some geeks
A7
And they were the nicest gosh darn people
G D
I'd ever hope to meet
D
When you roll into a small town, they're nice as they can be
D7
But at night they put on sheets and hang your sad ass from a tree
G
They're in a small town
D
Don't dare be different
A7
'Cos hate lives in a small town
G D
Unless you're just like them
D
So if you're livin' in a small town and you feel you're in a vice
D7
Buy yourself a ticket, kid, hell, just take my advice
G
And leave the small town
D
Be quick as you can be
A7
Get out of that small town
G D
And you'll be free like me
D
