Breakin' Up in a Gossipin' Crowd

Intro

Yeah, in this two-bit town where the tongues never stop

We lit up the dancefloor, but it all went pop

Verse

Saturday night at the Boot Scootin' Barn

Your boots on my heart, leavin' permanent scars

I caught you dancin' too close with ol' Jimmy Ray

Whiskey on your breath, and lies in your sway

The whole crowd's starin', jaws on the floor

Fiddles still playin', but we're settlin' scores

I grabbed your arm, said "Darlin', we're done"

You rolled them eyes like I stole all your fun

Chorus

Breakin' up in a gossipin' crowd, yeah

Small town talk spreadin' fast and loud, yeah

They'll whisper our names from the diner to the feed store

Chewin' our business like it's yesterday's cornbread

Oh, we're done, done, done in front of 'em all

Hearts on the jukebox, watchin' us fall

Breakin' up in a gossipin' crowd

Yeah, talk all you want, I'm walkin' out proud

Verse

Your mama's already textin' her bridge club crew

Daddy's reloadin' the gossip with a "bless her heart" or two

Truck keys in my hand, tail lights in the rain

Leavin' your drama like a bad two-step pain

They'll say I was crazy, you were too good to lose

But I know the truth, honey, you lit the fuse

Now the band's playin' our breakup song slow

And everybody's watchin' this one-man show

Chorus

Breakin' up in a gossipin' crowd, yeah

Small town talk spreadin' fast and loud, yeah

They'll whisper our names from the diner to the feed store

Chewin' our business like it's yesterday's cornbread

Oh, we're done, done, done in front of 'em all

Hearts on the jukebox, watchin' us fall

Breakin' up in a gossipin' crowd

Yeah, talk all you want, I'm walkin' out proud

Bridge

Let 'em wag their tongues, let 'em spin their yarn

I'll find my freedom under these neon stars (whoa-oh)

No more cheatin' games, no more two-timin' lies

I'm tradin' your memory for blue Kentucky skies

Chorus

Breakin' up in a gossipin' crowd, yeah

Small town talk spreadin' fast and loud, yeah (loud, yeah)

They'll whisper our names from the diner to the feed store

Chewin' our business like it's yesterday's cornbread

Oh, we're done, done, done in front of 'em all

Hearts on the jukebox, watchin' us fall

Breakin' up in a gossipin' crowd

Yeah, talk all you want (talk all you want)

I'm walkin' out proud

Outro

Walkin' out proud, yeah

Gossipin' crowd... fade out
