Tom: D D Yeah, a small-town girl oughta know better D Than to ride through town on a Friday night D Go haulin' 'round stuff that belongs to another N.C. And leanin' on over at a red light That's right D Yeah, a small-town girl oughta grow up knowing D That 'round here you can't be a liar D One little spark gonna wind up smoking N.C. And gonna spread like a wildfire [Chorus] D Dsus/C Like the roots running through the southern ground Dsus/C Word gets out when you get around Dsus/C Asus2 If I was you, I'd be on the lookout Asus2 D 'Cause it's a small town D It's a small town, girl D Dsus/C Oh, oh, oh, oh Dsus/C Asus2 Oh, oh, oh, oh Asus2 D Oh, oh, oh, oh [Verse 2] D Yeah, a small-town boy shoulda learned from his mama D Hell has no fury like a woman scorned D There's a big backlash on backroad drama N.C. 'Cause girls like you ain't nothing more [Chorus] D Dsus/C Than the roots running through southern ground Dsus/C Word gets out when you get around Dsus/C Asus2 If I was you, I'd be on the lookout Asus2 D 'Cause it's a small town D It's a small town, girl D Dsus/C Oh, oh, oh, oh Dsus/C Asus2 Oh, oh, oh, oh Asus2 D Oh, oh, oh, oh [Bridge] D There's one Walmart, one church, one bar Dsus2/C I know these roads, I know your car Asus2 You can run and you can hide Asus2 But it's just a mile wide N.C. The truth catches up in a small town Oh yes, it does [Chorus] D Dsus/C Like the roots running through the southern ground Dsus/C Word gets out when you get around Dsus/C Asus2 If I was you, I'd be on the lookout Asus2 D 'Cause it's a small town D It's a small town, girl D Dsus/C Oh, oh, oh, oh Dsus/C Asus2 Oh, oh, oh, oh Asus2 D Oh, oh, oh, oh
