[Verse 1]
Well, the day Carlene went from blonde to green
Everybody lost their minds
Then poor Steve got a tattoo sleeve
They swear that he's gonna do time
If somebody's cheatin', thinkin' it's a secret
Man, they're thinkin' wrong
It's gonna hit the press, then everybody says
How they knew it all along

[Chorus]
No, you can't run from it
You don't want none of it
If you stick around here, you can't steer clear
You're gonna get some of it
I'm tellin' y'all that eventually
You're bound to be steppin'
In that small-town bullshit

[Verse 2]
Whеn you graduate with twenty-eight
Kids in your sеnior high
It ain't hard to say who's to really blame
For Katie's two pink lines
Everybody thinks he oughta buy her a ring
Before her daddy knows
'Cause if he don't, man, he's a dead man
And, boy, she's startin' to show
[Chorus]
No, you can't run from it
You don't want none of it
If you stick around here, you can't steer clear
You're gonna get some of it
I'm tellin' y'all that eventually
You're bound to be steppin'
In that small-town bullshit

[Chorus]
No, you can't run from it
And you don't want none of it
If you plant your roots, you better watch your boots
And there's gonna be a ton of it
I'm tellin' y'all that eventually
You're bound to be steppin'
In that small-town bullshit

[Outro]
In that small-town bullshit
