Small Town Talk Lyrics - Live At Winterland Ballroom - Paul Butterfield

It's only small town talk 

You know how people are 

They can't stand to see you 

Being who you are. 

It's only small town talk 

Don't pay it no mind 

Don't believe a word they say 

They do it to you every time. 

You can't believe everything you hear 

Only half of what you might see 

But if you have to believe in anyone 

I'd believe, darling, believe in me. 

It's only small town talk 

A well-known fact 

You don't even know 

How one other might react 

To what you're thinking 

What are they thinking. 

It's only small town talk 

They're telling all the lies 

And make some people crazy 

They don't realize we're still thinking. 

We're only people, trying to live together 

We're trying to make this little life work 

Who are we to judge one another 

It may lead to tears or maybe something even worse. 

It's only small town talk 

You know how people are 

They can't stand to see you 

Being just exactly who you are. 

It's small town talk 

Pittle, pattle, it's small town talk 

Tittle, tattle, it's small town talk.
