It's a Small Town lyrics - Crash Test Dummies

You can try sneaking around if you like

By the wharf, or away in the woods

Poaching at lobsters and deer and the like

And doesn't that homebrew taste good?

You can say you were hiking

Pretend you were lost

But you'll smell like a drunk in the end

It's a small town

And the word will get 'round

That you can be sure, my friend

You can grow plants in the bush if you like

Water them every day

Pick a nice spot that is just out of sight

Sunny, but out of the way

Then, when the time comes to harvest your crop

Some kids cut them down at the end

'Cause it's a small town

And the word will get 'round

That you can be sure, my friend

You can try cheating on your lovely wife

There's always a goer around

Take her out back in the bush, if you like

Do everything not to be found

Pants 'round your ankles

You fumble about

Wondering how this one will end

It's a small town

And the word will get 'round

That you can be sure, my friend

So I went running as fast as I could

From the scene of all my crimes

I imagined a life somewhere else far away

And hope [?]

And claim I was orphaned

And came from out west

And start fresh all over again

But in my small town

The word will get 'round

That you can be sure, my friend

That you can be sure, my friend
