Big Day in a Small Town - Brandy Clark

Written by：Brandy Clark/Shane McAnally/Mark D. Sanders

Mama got a call from the principal's office

Better get down here fast

'Cause mandy passed out when her water broke in the middle of geometry class

Her mama didn't know she was nine months late

Been gettin' on her 'bout gainin' weight

And now she's a Grandma

Somebody had a baby

Somebody had a breakdown

Oh it's a big day

In a small town

Willy Smith swore he wouldn't miss one more

Of Junior's football games

Got his twelve pack o' Bud and his Friday night buzz

Headin' south in the northbound lane

Junior's the endzone halfback pitch

Willy's sittin' upside down in a ditch

And the crowd goes wild

Somebody rent a pitch

Somebody score a touchdown

Oh it's a big day

In a small town

There ain't no mall no Waffle House

But there's always somethin' to talk about

Around here somebody shot a deer

Somebody's gettin' married buried or carried away

The sun comes up

And the sun goes down

Ah it's a big day

In a small town

Rumour goin' 'round about a Methodist man

And a jailbait checkout queen

His wife caught wind of unspeakable sin

Goin' down on aisle 13

She left all the chicken in the fryin' pan

Drew all the kids in the Grand Caravan

With a baseball bat

Somebody went to Wal Mart

In nothin' but a night gown

Oh it's a big day

In a small town

There ain't no mall no Waffle House

But there's always somethin' to talk about

Around here somebody shot a deer

Somebody's gettin' married buried or carried away

The sun comes up

And the sun goes down

Ah it's a big day

In a small town
