Well, I've been lost in this town
Even though I know my way around
Didn't take me long until I found the devil
Just one word, I knew his voice
It's the one I heard at every choice I made
Just trying to be a rebel in a small town
In a small town

If you jumped off our front porch
You'd land right where the Civil War was fought
It's never been forgotten
It's twenty miles to the interstate
There's a Burger King and a Motel 8
And the only thing between here and there is cotton

Jeffrey prays to Jesus, asking Him please
Just help us through one more day
Jenny gets high, she wastes her life
But me, I just ran away
From a small town
From a small town

Sometimes it was heaven, sometimes hell
Kinda like church, kinda like jail
There's a water tower, says 'Welcome To Nowhere'
Soon as I could I was long gone
My jeans were torn and my hair was long
Now I can't believe I wanna go back there
To a small town
To a small town

Jeffrey prays to Jesus, asking Him please
Just help us through one more day
Jenny gets high, she wastes her life
But me, I just ran away
But I knew I'd come back some day
To a small town
To a small town
Oh, to a small town
To a small town

Ooh, ooh...

Oh, to a small town
