Story behind the song
Real life in a small town
Lyrics
Small Town Rumors Rory Ruff, ASCAP He grew up in a small town An only child, grew up fighting his way Never had any real close friends to speak of A reputation he's tried to live down to this day In his life, he never purposely hurt noone Never raised his fist except in self defense But in a small town, once your names be shunned Trying to escape its, like climbin an electric fence (Bridge) But everynight, he closes his eyes and prays Forgive them Lord, they don't feel my pain They've forgotten Lord, the only Judge is You Someday Father, they will know the Truth (Chorus) Life is hard these days, noone can deny The average man breaks his back, Until the day he dies Theres a few who were born, With riches on their plate But in a small town somewhere Theres a few who would die To have been given a chance For any kind of life, But thanks to small town rumors They fought to live them down Till the day they died (2nd Verse) Yesterday they laid him to rest When the casket closed, A single rose lay on his chest The preacher read John 7:24 And as his family cried, his daughters Said, Go rest now daddy noone Will judge you anymore (Bridge) And everynight, he closed his eyes and prayed Forgive them Lord, they don't feel my pain They've forgotten Lord, the only Judge is You Someday Father, they will know the Truth (Chorus) Life is hard these days, noone can deny The average man breaks his back, Until the day he dies Theres a few who were born, With riches on their plate But in a small town somewhere Theres a few who would die To have been given a chance For any kind of life, But thanks to small town rumors They fought to live them down Till the day they died
