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
