Wade Bowen - God Bless This Town lyrics

You just thought that you knew about rumors man

But you ain't ever lived in my town

Population 153

And it's still goin down

What's his name's runnin' around with Mary

Hell last I heard he's already been married 3 times

You've been gone for what, about 8 years now?

And they're still spreadin' rumors about you

You grew your hair long and shaggy

And gettin' drunk is all that you do

They forgot that you play your music

Yeah they gave up on you a long, long time ago

God bless this town

It's so good to be back home

Yeah how you been doing

Lord, I know its been so long

Tell your family hello

I'm sure I'll see you around

Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up

God bless this town

Small towns are supposed to be small

Until being big gets in the way

A man doesn't play by their rules

Then he's not welcome to stay

And politics don't care about 21 years of service

Being a puppet is something he'll never be

God bless this town

It's so good to be back home

Yeah how you been doing

Lord, I know its been so long

Tell your family hello

I'm sure I'll see you around

Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up

God bless this town

Keep talking all you want

I guess thats all you ever do

Soon I'll find my place

And I'll wave as I pass through

God bless this town

It's so good to be back home

Yeah how you been doing

Lord, I know its been so long

Tell your family hello

I'm sure I'll see you around

Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up tight

God bless this town
