She was lit up like Times Square on New Years Eve
Rolling down the avenue crashing in the streets
No ove ever told her that things could get rough
Trying to be a model actress working in a restaurant
If the Cocaine don't kill her the pills probably will
Never seem to have a problem getting the prescriptions filled
There's a red one to calm you down and there's a yellow one that brings you back around
It's all part of a Small Town Tragedy
Billy was an honest man until he got caught
Selling to a businessman who turned out to be a cop
He did a little planning how he'd buy a car
Selling little baggies to strangers at the bar
There's a green one to calm you down and there's a brown one that sends you right downtown
It's all part of a Small Town Tragedy
Well Shelly has a little boy who will never know his dad
Never get to have the things other children have
So she's dancing at the truck stop just to pay the bills
Nasty little habit she once called cheap thrills
There's a red one to calm you down and there's another one that brings you back around
It's all part of a Small Town Tragedy
She was lit up like Times Square on New Years Eve
Swerving down the avenue crashing in the streets
If the Cocaine don't kill her the pills probably will
Never seem to have a problem paying them doctor's bills
There's a red one to calm you down and there's yellow one that brings you back around
It's all part of a Small Town Tragedy
Take the blue one to knock you out
Watch out for the purple one that makes you talk real loud
It's all part of a Small Town Tragedy
Yeah, It's all part of a Small Town Tragedy8
Yeah It's all part of a Small Town Tragedy
It's all part of a Small Town Tragedy
