I'm hiding here behind these walls

I'm dragging out my bravest face

You know they say home is where the heart is

I wish it wasn't this place

'Cause up until I was sixteen I guess I kinda lost my way

No beauty decorum or grace I know I made a mistake

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I don't wanna face this mess

Can I stay here in this bed

This small town syndrome's getting me down

I hear them talking talking so loud

And I'm still tryna find a way out of here

Ooh-ooh-ooh

And I can't hide my face in the crowd

Their eyes like spotlights staring me out

My stomach's turning inside and out 'round here

In this small town

I wish I could just run away catch a ticket on the next train

But what would my mother say her little girl is going insane

What's trouble at the sound of despair

Did you hear the news yesterday

They're saying he did this and that

But why does it matter anyway

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I don't wanna face this mess

Can I stay here in this bed

'Cause this small town syndrome's getting me down

I hear them talking talking so loud

And I'm still tryna find a way out of here

Ooh-ooh-ooh

And I can't hide my face in the crowd

Their eyes like spotlights staring me out

My stomach's turning inside and out 'round here

In this small town

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

This small town syndrome's getting me down

I hear them talking talking so loud

And I'm still tryna find a way out of here

Oh and I can't hide my face in the crowd

Their eyes like spotlights staring me out

My stomach's turning inside and out 'round here

In this small town

In this small town

In this small town it's hard to find a way out

In this small town

Oh this small town

Oh this small town gotta find a way out

In this small town
