Greg Brown - It Gets Lonely In A Small Town Lyrics

Send "It Gets Lonely In A Small Town" ringtone to your cell

Young woman with a child

Living all alone

On a hot night in the summer

With the television on.

"goodnight mama"

Says the child

From a crib by the tv.

And the woman washes two plates and cups

'til they are way past clean.

And the blue flares of the tv screen-

Heat lightening inside and out.

Oh it gets lonely in a small town

When midnight rolls around.

An old woman at her sewing

By a rusty oil stove.

The snow has covered everything

The years have covered love.

Oh they buried him two years ago

In six feet of black dirt.

She lives in just one room now-

She's still mending his shirts.

And the white flares of the memories-

Moonlight inside and out.

Oh it gets lonely in a small town

When midnight rolls around.

Way out at the edge of town

Looking at the flat lands

You can't help but wonder if he's still got

The whole world in his hands.

Oh there seems to be so much more sky

Every evening and morn.

And the only song you ever hear

Is the crickets in the corn.

And the red flares of the sunset-

One more day falling down.

Oh it gets lonely in a small town

When midnight rolls around.

Yeah it gets lonely in a small town

When midnight rolls around.
