[Verse 1]
Small town romance
Back seat for a bed
Nothings must be whispered
Rumours must be fed
Small town romance
Everyone knows your mind
They peep from faded curtains
They read your valentines

[Chorus]
Oh, you got to get away
Oh, you got to get away
Oh, you got to get away
Oh, they can't stand love in a small town

[Verse 2]
They knew you when you were weaning
They knew you when you were grown
They think they know all about you
They'll never leave you alone
Small town romance
There's too many jealousies
Old maids with long gone lovers
Old flames with bad memories
[Chorus]
Oh, you better get away
Oh, you better get away
Oh, you better get away
Oh, they can't stand love in a small town

[Verse 3]
Midnight packing and leaving
Note pinned upon the sheets
Tail lights off in the distance
A ride through the painted streets
Oh, small town romance
They'd still break you if they could
They'd always say I told you so
She never was no good

[Chorus]
See, she never loved him anyway
See, she never loved him anyway
See, she never loved him anyway
Oh, you can't have love in a small town
See, she never loved him anyway
See, she never loved him anyway
See, she never loved him anyway
You can't have love in a small town
