She was the prettiest thing that they had ever seen
In a small town run on God and gasoline
They marveled at her green eyes and her curls
But in any other town she'd be just another beautiful girl
They wore that bible belt just a little too tight
Down a oneway street with only one street light
So to take it right you had to go the wrong way first
Lord in any other town she'd be just another beautiful girl
She got caught with a boy, got caught with a cigarette
Yea Jesus might forgive you but the preacher's never gonna forget
She was everybody's gossip. Everybody prayed for her
Lord in any other town she'd be just another beautiful girl
She grew up fast and she hiked up her Sunday gown
And the high school boys learned fast they should hang around
Cause in the small town nights the only thing going down was her
Lord in any other town she'd be just another beautiful girl
Yea they were looking through their bibles
She was looking through a magazine
She liked them black and white and she loved them in between
But those looks she got were more than she deserved
Lord in any other town she'd be just another beautiful girl
She took the hand of a black boy and they ran away
The day she found out she was three weeks late
She knew that town would never love her baby girl
But in any other town she'd be just another beautiful girl
That girl was born prettiest thing her mother had ever seen
In a busy hospital on a busy street
Should have seen her hazel eyes, brown skin, and curls
But to everybody else she was just another beautiful girl
