I knew I'd see her around I'll be at some party and she'd show up and I'd be walking out Or across some parking lot hiding behind her sister I'd look up and she'd be at the red light beside me in that white Maxima with the sticker on the back
And I'd act like I didn't see her We pay at the same pumps Flip through the same stations Slow down for the same curves Run around the same crowds We just needed some time She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine Thought I would be fine But maybe not I knew she'd find a way to get over me but I never thought
She would get down with somebody I know I guess that's just how it goes when you break up in a small town I see our friends and they put on a show like they don't want me to know so they give me the go-around But there's only so many streets, so many lights I swear it's like I can't even leave my house Should've known all along You gotta move or move on when you break up in a small town
For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key And now it's like these county lines are closing in on me I see 'em everywhere together And it's hitting a little too close to home She's so far gone And she didn't go far She was over me before the grass grew back where she used to park her car She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard Someone else's arms right down the road And I never thought
She would get down with somebody I know I guess that's just how it goes when you break up in a small town I see our friends and they put on a show like they don't want me to know so they give me the go-around But there's only so many streets, so many lights I swear it's like I can't even leave my house Should've known all along You gotta move or move on when you break up in a small town
Your mailbox is 7 minutes from mine And I drive and you tell sometimes And I see you sitting there with him And I wanna jump out I wanna fight And I wanna say "thank God" But I can't and it's my fault and I let her go I never thought
She would get down with somebody I know I guess that's just how it goes when you break up in a small town I see our friends and they put on a show like they don't want me to know so they give me the go-around But there's only so many streets, so many lights I swear it's like I can't even leave my house Should've known all along You gotta move or move on when you break up in a small town
