[Intro]

[Verse]

You just thought you knew about rumors man

But you aint ever lived in my town

Population 153

And its still goin' down

What's his name's still runnin' around with Mary

Hell last I heard he'd already been married 3 times

You've been gone for what, about 8 years now

And they're still spreading rumors about you

You grew your hair long and shaggy

And gettin' drunk is all that you do

They forgot that you play your music

Yeah they gave up on you a long time ago

[Chorus]

God bless this town

A E

It's so good to be back home

Yeah, how you been doin'

A E

Lord, I know it's been so long

Tell your family hello

A E

I'm sure I'll see you around

F#m A

Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up

God bless this town

[Verse]

Small towns are supposed to be small

Until being big gets in the way

A man doesn't play by their rules

Then he's not welcome to stay

And politics don't care about 21 years of service

Being a puppet is something he'll never be

[Chorus]

God bless this town

A E

It's so good to be back home

Yeah, how you been doin'

A E

Lord, I know it's been so long

Tell your family hello

A E

I'm sure I'll see you around

F#m A

Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up

God bless this town

[Bridge]

Keep talking all you want

I guess that's all you ever do

And I'll wave as I pass through

[Chorus]

God bless this town

A E

It's so good to be back home

Yeah, how you been doin'

A E

Lord, I know it's been so long

Tell your family hello

A E

I'm sure I'll see you around

F#m A

Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up

God bless this town
