lyrics

It's all small town talk, you know how people are
They can't stand to see, someone else doing what they like to
It's all small town talk, you mustn't pay no mind
Don't believe a word, they'll try to do it every time

You can't believe everything you hear
And only half of what you see
And if you're gonna believe in anyone
You gotta believe in me

It's all small town talk, and it's a well known fact
You don't ever know how one might react to what you're thinking
And in small town talk, you tell a lot of lies
Make some people crazy, they never realize that they're sinking

We're only two people, trying to live together
Trying to make something work
Who are we to judge one another?
That could cause a lot of hurt

It's all small town talk, you know how people are
They can't stand to see, someone else doing what they want to
It's all small town talk, you mustn't pay no mind
Don't believe a word, they'll try to do it every time

An intimate look at a brilliant album, it puts an even greater focus on the wonderful lyrics and basic melodies. Interestingly, I now have a new favorite song on the album. PDD

One Go Around
by Jeffrey Martin

supported by 7 fans who also own “Small Town Talk”

Title track was the first I'd ever heard of Jeff's work and it struck me like a ten-ton hammer. Was a perfect fit for the small-town college I was attending at the time, not far from train tracks itself. Every time I hear this, I can see the amber light of the street lamps and think about a few walks I made around campus in the dead of night. Still haven't grabbed hold of the life I've been given as firmly as I ought to, but this song soothes my regret...and the chorus reminds me.... moonandstar8765

Just a really solid countrified indie folk rock album from top to bottom, in the vein of those early Deer Tick albums. Jeremy / HI54LOFI
