Brandy Clark - Big Day In A Small Town Lyrics

Grew up in the same town as she did and it was cool how she got a key to the city of morton and the history of this song is so nice i love it

Yes ma'am, you nailed it ! Good guitar licks too !

This person is a headliner!!!

Verse 1]
Momma got a call from the principal's office
Better get down here fast
Mindy passed out when her water broke
In the middle of geometry class
Her momma didn't know she was nine months late
Been gettin' on her 'bout gainin' weight
And now she's a grandma

[Channel 1]
Somebody had a baby
Somebody had a breakdown
Ah, it's a big day
In a small town

[Verse 2]
Willie Smith swore he wouldn't miss one more
Of Junior's football games
Got his 12 pack of Bud
And his Friday night buzz
Headin' south in the northbound lane
Junior's in the end zone, halfback pitch
Willie's sittin' upside down in a ditch
And the crowd goes wild

[Channel 2]
Somebody wrecked a pick-up
Somebody scored a touchdown
Ah, it's a big day
In a small town


[Chorus]
There ain't no mall - no Waffle House
But there's always something to talk about
Around here
Somebody shot a deer - somebody's gettin' married
Or buried - or carried away
If the sun comes up - and the sun goes down
Ah, it's a big day
In a small town

[Verse 3]
Rumor goin' around 'bout a Methodist man
And a jailbait check out queen
His wife caught wind of unspeakable sin
Goin' down on aisle thirteen
She left all the chicken in the fryin' pan
Threw all the kids in the Grand Caravan
With a baseball bat

[Channel 3]
Somebody went to Wal-Mart
In nothin' but a night gown
Yeah, it's a big day
In a small town

Who are the twelve idiots that don't like this song. Come on man. Great thoughtful lyrics.

First country I have heard in a long time that is really terrific and original, she is going places!

This song reminds me of Miranda Lambert's --Famous in a Small Town, both songs are great.

Only With that music America is great,arround the World a big Festival with Country Music and must to open some clubs for country dance arround the World, America can take many friends with that choice,next patriots from "Legion Etrangere" de Etats Unit.

this song is just fine how it's wrote bout time for something else than just that same shit people call country these days

Midwest cowboy 97 Amen!!#

This song is great, but the production is a little too "yee-haw, country" does anyone agree? She's so smart and clever, I love the writing though.

She's a country singer, so.....

squeekytoy123 just thought I'd let you know her little production of "yee-haw country" has gotten her songs she's written sung by very successful COUNTRY singers. 👌🏼👏🏼☺

I know, I'm not saying it's better or worse (also, are you equating high grossing with high quality?) just that I prefer the live version of this song :)

Such a fun song, fantastic album Brandy <33

So nice that sound ¡¡

"Willie's sitting upside down in a ditch"...............ha! Oh girl, this is so my small town.

Oh my gosh that baby incident happened when I was in like maybe 11th grade science class A girls water broke all over the floor That was different kind of science lesson for us.
