I knew I'd see her around
I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out
Across some parking lot, hiding behind her sister
I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me
In that white Maxima with the sticker on the back
I'd act like I didn't see her
And we pay at the same pumps
Flip through the same stations
And slow down for the same curbs
Run around with the same crowds
We just needed some time
She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine
Thought I would be fine, heh, but maybe not
I knew she's find a way to get over me
But I'd never thought that

She would get down with somebody I know
I guess that's just how it goes
When you break up in a small town
I see our friends and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know
So they give me the go-around
But there's only so many streets and so many lights
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
I should have known all along
You gotta move and move on
When you break up in a small town

For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key
And now it's like these county lines closing in on me
I see 'em everywhere together
And it's hitting a little too close to home
She's so far gone, she didn't go far
She was over me before the grass grew back where she used to park her car
She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard
In someone else's arms right down the road
And I never thought that

She would get down with somebody I know
I guess that's just how it goes
When you break up in a small town
I see our friends and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know
So they give me the go-around
But there's only so many streets and so many lights
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
I should have known all along
You gotta move and move on
When you break up in a small town

Her mailbox is seven minutes from mine
And I drive into town sometimes and I see you there sitting there with him
And I wanna jump out, I want to a fight, I want to say fuck that guy
But I can't, cause it's my fault, and I let her go
I never thought that

That she would get down with somebody I know
I guess that's just how it goes
When you break up in a small town
I see our friends and they put on a show
Like they don't want me to know
So they give me the go-around
But there's only so many streets and so many lights
I swear it's like I can't even leave my house
I should have known all along
You gotta move and move on
When you break up in a small town
This song is from the album "X2c-EP" and "Montevallo".
