VERSE:
BB
Mama got a call from the principal's office
Better get down here fast
'Cause Mindy passed out when her water broke
In the middle of geometry class
E MajorE
Her mama didn't know she was nine months late
BB
Been getting on her about gaining weight
And now she's a grandma
BREAK:
BB 
F#F#
Somebody had a baby
E MajorE
Somebody had a breakdown
F#F#
Aaah, it's a big day
BB
In a small town
VERSE:
BB
Well, Eddie Smith swore he wouldn't miss one more
Of Junior's football games
Got his twelve pack of Bud and his Friday night buzz
Heading south in the north bound lane
E MajorE
Juniors in the endzone half back pitch
BB
Willie's sitting upside down in a ditch
And the crowd goes wild
BREAK:
F#F#
Somebody wrecked a pick up
E MajorE
Somebody scored a touchdown
F#F#
Aaah, it's a big day
BB
In a small town
CHORUS:
BB
There ain't no mall
No waffle house
But there's always something to talk about
E MajorE
Around here
Somebody shot a deer
BB
Somebody's getting married
Or buried
Or carried away
F#F#
The sun comes up
E MajorE
And the sun goes down
F#F#
Aaah, it's a big day
BB
In a small town
VERSE:
BB
Women go around about a Methodist man
And a jail bait check out queen
His wife caught wind of unspeakable sin
Going down on aisle thirteen
E MajorE
She left all the chicken in the frying pan
BB
And threw all the kids in a grand caravan
With a baseball bat
BREAK:
F#F#
Somebody went to Wal-mart
E MajorE
In nothing but a night gown
F#F#
Aaah, it's a big day
BB
In a small town
CHORUS:
BB
There ain't no mall
No waffle house
But there's always something to talk about
E MajorE
Around here
Somebody shot a deer
BB
Somebody's getting married
Or buried
Or carried away
F#F#
The sun comes up
E MajorE
And the sun goes down
F#F#
Aaah, it's a big day
BB
Hey, in a small town
