lyrics

Small town in Dixie, we don’t see eye to eye.
Small town, You’ll throw a big street party when I die.
You put asbestos in my house, then you burned it down
I’ve lived through years of taunts and fears, right here in this small town.

Small town postman, you fed-exed me a bomb.
Small town school-friend, you poured blood on me at prom
Small-town preacher, you prayed I’d go to hell
Small-town sheriff stole my dog and locked it in a cell

I first kissed here.
And I first cried here.
I first felt the need to write a song.
There’ve been bad times
There’ve been sad times
But it’s the bad, sad times that make you strong
So I’ll stay til good times come along.

Small-town bankers, you mis-sold me PPI,
You hired an airplane to spell out "You're a shithead" in the sky
You stole my car, you burned my clothes, you kidnapped Aunty Jane,
You had me sectioned, broke me out, then you did it all again.

People ask me how can I forgive them?
Don’t them liberal-hating bullies make you cry?
I feel better every Thanksgiving
I get liberal with some medical supplies
I find myself feel quite forgiving
As I pour that full strength laxative in
The Umbrage Townships main water supply

I first kissed here.
And I first cried here.
I first felt the need to write a song.
There’ve been bad times
There’ve been sad times
But watching those poor bastards keeps me strong,
When they're pooping out their panties all week long
It was Al Gore's idea and who's to say he's wrong
so I’m going where some good times come along.
