Breakup in a Small Town
Sam Hunt

I knew I'd see her around
I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out
Or across some parking lot, hiding behind her sister
I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me
In that white Maxima with the sticker on the back
I'd act like I didn't see her
We'd pay at the same pumps, flip through the same stations
And slow down for the same curves
Run around with the same crowds
We just needed some time
She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine
Thought I would be fine, but maybe not
I knew she'd find a way to get over me
But I'd never thought

(Chorus)
She would get down with somebody I know
I guess that's just how it goes when you break up in a small town
I see our friends and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know, so I give them the go-around
But there's only so many streets, so many lights
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
I should've known all along
You gotta move or move on when you break up in a small town

I found out the hard way that she wasn't just talkin'
When she said that she would be workin' late
I didn't know he was a friend of mine
I didn't know she was so close to him
When she said she needed some time to figure her life out
And I thought she'd be looking for me to come around
But she was down at the levee bowin' on a blanket
At a picnic down over the river

And you know when you see them together
Their whole last summer's written all over their faces
They look like they're lot more than friends
I just need to get on over her and get some closure

(Chorus)
She would get down with somebody I know
I guess that's just how it goes when you break up in a small town
I see our friends and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know, so I give them the go-around
But there's only so many streets, so many lights
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
I should've known all along
You gotta move or move on when you break up in a small town

My mailbox still smells like her perfume
And I look down and see her handwriting

(Chorus)
I know what this is gonna do

(Final Chorus)
She would get down with somebody I know
I guess that's just how it goes when you break up in a small town
I see our friends and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know, so I give them the go-around
But there's only so many streets, so many lights
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
I should've known all along
You gotta move or move on when you break up in a small town
