[Verse 1]
Population little more than the bleachers can fit
Always been like this, ain't no reason to quit
Doing things the way we done
Busting our ass in the hot summer sun
Well, Bobby and Jenny back together again
They 'bout to make it 'ficial and they're telling their friends
Baby on the way and the whole town knows
That's how a small town goes

[Chorus]
That's how small town goes
Riding down small town roads singing small town songs
Yeah, and it don't take long 'til everybody's singing along
And it goes like, oh-oh
Shenandoah on the radio
And it feels like
Learning real fast how to live real slow
That's how small town goes

[Verse 2]
Friday night home team put a beatin' on 'em
Got a brand new truck put some speakers on 'em
Sitting high thirty fives and they're squealin' on 'em
Lot of these in the mud four wheelin' on 'em
Willie's off the wagon and he's drinkin' again
Got a bag in Colorado just to share with the friends
Now I'm getting stoned and the whole town knows
That's how a small town goes
[Chorus]
That's how small town goes
Riding down small town roads singing small town songs
Yeah, and it don't take long 'til everybody's singing along
And it goes like, oh-oh
Shenandoah on the radio
And it feels like
Learning real fast how to live real slow
That's how small town goes

[Bridge]
When the moon comes up the nights get hotter
With a shotgun rider sliding closer to me
Start a little headlight fire by the water
Spark it on up cause we know where it leads yeah

[Chorus]
That's how small town goes
Riding down small town roads
That's how small town goes
Riding down small town roads singing small town songs
Yeah, and it don't take long 'til everybody's singing along
And it goes like, oh-oh
Shenandoah on the radio
And it feels like
Learning real fast how to live real slow
That's how small town goes
