Big Day In A Small Town Lyrics - Singles - Brandy Clark

Mama got a call from the Principal's office 

"Better get down here fast 

'Cause Mandy passed out when her water broke in the middle of geometry class" 

Her mama didn't know she was nine months late 

Been gettin' on her 'bout gainin' weight 

And now she's a grandma 

Somebody had a baby 

Somebody had a breakdown 

Oh, it's a big day 

In a small town 

Willy Smith swore he wouldn't miss one more 

Of Junior's football games 

Got his twelve-pack o' Bud and his Friday night buzz 

Headin' south in the northbound lane 

Junior's the endzone, halfback pitch 

Willy's sittin' upside-down in a ditch 

And the crowd goes wild 

Somebody rent a pitch 

Somebody score a touchdown 

Oh, it's a big day 

In a small town 

There ain't no mall, no waffle house 

But there's always somethin' to talk about 

Around here, somebody shot a deer 

Somebody's gettin' married, buried, or carried away 

The sun comes up 

And the sun goes down 

Ah, it's a big day 

In a small town 

Rumour goin' 'round about a methodist man 

And a jailbait checkout queen 

His wife caught wind of unspeakable sin 

Goin' down on Aisle Thirteen 

She left all the chicken in the fryin' pan 

Drew all the kids in the grand caravan 

With a baseball bat 

Somebody went to Wal-Mart 

In nothin' but a nightgown 

Oh, it's a big day 

In a small town 

There ain't no mall, no waffle house 

But there's always somethin' to talk about 

Around here, somebody shot a deer 

Somebody's gettin' married, buried, or carried away 

The sun comes up 

And the sun goes down 

Ah, it's a big day 

In a small town
