Small Town Trash Talk

Verse 1

Ain't never been good at pickin' partners

Guess my daddy ain't too good at givin' advice

Always said, "Son, never settle for less"

But I was young and kinda half-blind with love

Verse 2

Then she got her picture in the local paper

Sayin', "Here's my new boyfriend, I'd like him to stay"

And when I saw it, I just couldn't help but laugh

Guess I really shoulda listened to the old man

Pre-Chorus

Guess I was too drunk to notice

Guess you were just too honest

Chorus

When you told me that you hated the town we both grew up in

You hated the boys you grew up with

You said it was all just a drag

But hey, I guess we're both talkin' trash

'Cause I never hated her like I do now

Damn, I never hated the town like I do now

Verse 3

I still walk by her momma's house on Sunday

On my way to church to pray for some peace

And I still see her father down at the plant

And I wish him well, but damn, I just can't shake this

Verse 4

I can't ride them backroads without thinkin' of her

Can't drink a Bud without gettin' her name on my tongue

It's a damn shame how a small town can make you

Hate the things that you used to love

Pre-Chorus

'Cause I'm still stuck in a heartbreak

And I'm still lookin' for the break

Chorus

When you told me that you hated the town we both grew up in

You hated the boys you grew up with

You said it was all just a drag

But hey, I guess we're both talkin' trash

'Cause I never hated her like I do now

Damn, I never hated the town like I do now

Bridge

Now this town's everything I used to adore

It keeps me comin' back, but now it keeps me wantin' more

This place I used to call home

It's not the same since I'm alone

And I know damn well she ain't comin' back

Chorus

When you told me that you hated the town we both grew up in

You hated the boys you grew up with

You said it was all just a drag

But hey, I guess we're both talkin' trash

'Cause I never hated her like I do now

Damn, I never hated the town like I do now

Outro

Now this town's everything I used to adore

It keeps me comin' back, but now it keeps me wantin' more

This place I used to call home

It's not the same since I'm alone

And I know damn well she ain't comin' back

Yeah, I never hated her like I do now

Damn, I never hated the town like I do now
