lyrics

Some people have a pool everybody has a cellar
Small town rumours and big talkin' fellers
It's an okay place to be, a better place to have been
It's a road trip pit stop and they're damn sure proud of it

A dot on the map, a coffee stained dream
on the fabric of our country, a little frayed around the seams
There's not much to talk about, they talk all the same
And they threw a parade when the Google van came

And you can't start eating, till father says grace
And you can't leave the table till you finished off your plate
And you can't be friends with that girl down the lane
There's rumours goin round, no this is not up for debate

Some people have a pool everybody has a cellar
Small town rumours and big talkin' fellers
It's an okay place to be, a better place to have been
It's a road trip pit stop and they're damn sure proud of it

There used to be a 90 speed limit coming into town
They brought it down to 50, folks complained about the sound
Now the cops hide out there with their coffee and their donuts
Catch ya doing 55 when they're tryna meet their quotas

And they still talk about when that city boy came through
And walked into the bar in his city boy shoes
And started talking tough, tryna start beef
Till someone took a pool cue to his city boy teeth

Some people have a pool everybody has a cellar
Small town rumours and big talkin' fellers
It's an okay place to be, a better place to have been
It's a road trip pit stop and they're damn sure proud of it

Well you may grow up but kid, you'll never go far
when you can hardly hit the limit in your old beater car
Population's 800, never goes up or down
Every time a baby's born a man skips town

Some people have a pool everybody has a cellar
Small town rumours and big talkin' fellers
It's an okay place to be, a better place to have been
It's a road trip pit stop and they're damn sure proud of it
