We finally got a flashing light
D
They put it in last year

And everybody got real happy

When the grocery store got beer
G
And last time the census men came a-knockin'
G
We were busting at the seams

Big enough for a ZIP code

A good Mexican restaurant

A beauty shop or two

And a Church of the Nazarene

This town's too small to be mean

Too small to be lying

'Cause they're way too hard to keep

And around here, we all look out for each other
