"Stranger In A Small Town" By Collin Warren
Copyright 2006. All rights reserved.

When you're a stranger in a small town on Saturday night
It's easy to get lucky but easier to fight
So keep your eyes on the sidewalk or else you just might
not make it out of town alive

Well, it's all over the walls at the dairy queen
The beauty shop's talking behind magazines
All about the girl who was just eighteen
And the stranger from out of town

They were last seen driving in a green Skylark
Headin' for the meadow where the bad kids park
In a town so dead it only takes a spark to make
The whole damn thing ignite

Well, Alright...
Someone's gettin' lucky tonight

But when you hear the cars coming 'round that bend
You'd better get out of that town my friend
You stole the only dream that her Papa knew
And he's gonna make your worst nightmares come true

She was the prettiest thing they had ever seen
The Valedictorian, homecoming queen
With a reputation relentlessly pristine
No boy had even held her hand

Until you come along with your big city face
A black leather jacket and a guitar case
And suddenly the girl so pure and chaste
Is tuggin' at her chain and ready to bite

Well, Alright...
Someone's gettin' lucky tonight

But when you hear the cars coming 'round that bend
You'd better get out of that town my friend
You stole the only dream that her Papa knew
And he's gonna make your worst nightmares come true

So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick
Jack better hope his ignition don't stick
Or he's gonna find himself in one hell of a fix
When those bar rooms start to close

And now you're offerin' her a cigarette
And out she comes with the big secret
When she tells you she recently quit
So that the baby would be beautiful and bright

Well, Alright...
Someone got fucked tonight

And now the car's coming 'round that bend
Get out of the town my friend
Don't you remember what your papa said
When you asked how he and your Mama met

When you're a stranger in a small town on Saturday night
It's easy to get lucky but easier to fight
So keep your eyes on the sidewalk or else you just might
Not make it out of town
Make it out of town
Make it out of town tonight
