In a Town This Size Lyrics by John Prine

In Spite of Ourselves

1999

In a town this size, there's no place to hide
Everywhere you go, you meet someone you know
You can't steal a kiss in a place like this
How the rumors do fly in a town this size
In a smokey bar, in the backseat of your car
In your own little house, someone's sure to find you out
What you do and what you think
What you eat and what you drink
If you smoke a cigarette, they'll be talkin' about your breath
In a town this size, there's no place to hide
Everywhere you go, you meet someone you know
You can't steal a kiss in a place like this
How the rumors do fly in a town this size
Oh, I had a fight with my girlfriend last night
Before the moon went down, it was all over town
How he made me cry, how I said goodbye
If it's true or not doesn't seem to count a lot
In a town this size, there's no place to hide
Everywhere you go, you meet someone you know
You can't steal a kiss in a place like this
How the rumors do fly in a town this size
In a town this size, in a town this size
