I'm from a small town, also clostraphobic
I left home the day after my 18th birthday, finally
You know it's a small town when or if they have a Wal-Mart
There's no need to ask its location
Also, you know it's a small town when the City Limit sign is on Third Street
And why a City Limit sign?
There is no city to have a limit
It's a town, a small town
But a Small Town sign would be a grim reminder of how little towns limit everything except gossip, death, and taxes
This inappropriate signage, could mislead visitors that are searching for a Taco Bell or searching for a bar with chick's not chicken farmers
It's OK for visitors to pick up chick's if they can find one
I couldn't find one ever, that wasn't my second cousin
To meet the need of my location friendliness criteria, any community that doesn't have a Taco Bell isn't civilization as we know it in the 21st century
So, I prefer my noisy, dangerous city
It's a bigger circle to go in circles in
It has five or six Taco Bells
Down the street, there is a 24 hour Gas And Go which sells pizza by the slice
Now, that's civilization!
It makes living around so many creepy people worth it
A bigger cage for third rail rage
Little town's only fix for rage is that little black ribbon of dreams
The two lane highway through the center of town and really only one lane is needed to escape
As you escape, you will pass a cemetery when leaving from either side of town
There are four churches, they do pray a lot, maybe about leaving town
There's only one highway
And with two cemeteries, looks like plenty of folks didn't make it out of town in time
