Spoken Intro:

N.C.
I don't know how much you guys know about me
                                                   B7
But I'm from a tiny little bitty town over in east Texas




It's the sweet potato capital of the world

And um, honestly there ain't shit there

But a bunch of sweet potatoes and stray dogs and

We got one decent Mexican food restaurant

And we got one good beauty shop
                  N.C.
And that's about it




Verse 1:
   B7
We finally got a flashing light, they put it in last year
B7
   And everybody got real happy when the grocery store got beer
         E
And last time the census men came a-knockin', we were busting at the seams
        E  N.C.
Aw, but don't you forget it, as big as we're getting
                            E    E7
This town's too small to be mean


Verse 2:
B7
Big enough for a ZIP code, a VFW
  B7
A good Mexican restaurant and a beauty shop or two
         E
We got a Methodist, a Baptist, and a Church of the Nazarene
        E  N.C.
Aw, but don't you forget it, as big as we're getting
                            E
This town's too small to be mean
            B7                  E
Yeah, it's too dang small to be mean


Chorus:
A7
Too small to be lying, way too small to cheat
A7                                       B7
Way too small for secrets 'cause they're way too hard to keep
    E  N.C.
And somebody's mama knows somebody's cousin

And somebody's sister knows somebody's husband

And somebody's daughter knows somebody's brother
     E  N.C.
And around here we all look out for each other


Interlude:
|B7 |E  |


Verse 3:
                   B7
Well, you're gonna end up in the paper, you're gonna wreck your family name
            B7
'Cause what goes around comes back around by Friday's football game
         E
Yeah, we only got one sheriff, but we all know how to keep the peace
        E  N.C.
Oh, and don't you forget it, as big as we're getting
                            E
This town's too small to be mean


Chorus:
A7
Too small to be lying, way too small to cheat
A7                                       B7
Way too small for secrets 'cause they're way too hard to keep yeah
    E  N.C.
And somebody's mama knows somebody's cousin
