In This Little Town

In this little town there's no skyscrapers
There's two stop lights and a once-a-week paper
There's a preacher on Sunday quoting from the good book
It feels like the whole congregation is giving us a bad look

'Cause we're crazy in love, our hearts are burning
Tongues are wagging and heads are turning

'Cause we dance too close and we laugh too loud
We live too fast and we won't slow down
God only knows what we do when there's no one around
We've got everybody talking in this little town

In this little town there's just one high school
There's a general store and a VFW
They roll up the sidewalks when we go cruising
But it's not the straight and narrow that we're choosing

You know the folks around here, they love a good scandal
And we're giving them more than they can handle

'Cause we dance too close and we laugh too loud
We live too fast and we won't slow down
God only knows what we do when there's no one around
We've got everybody talking in this little town

They're burning up the telephone lines
Talking bad about our good times
But why should we change our ways
These are the good old days

'Cause we dance too close and we laugh too loud
We live too fast and we won't slow down
God only knows what we do when there's no one around
We've got everybody talking in this little town

In this little town, in this little town
(You know that everybody's talking in this little town)
In this little town
(God only knows what we do)
In this little town
