Biography:
Wildfire fighter, blueberry picker, Christmas tree topper and chainsaw maker were just a few of the job hats that Brandy Clark wore growing up in Morton, Washington (Pop. 900). Brandy first picked up the guitar at nine years old and made her singing debut in school musicals.

VERSE:
B
Mama got a call from the principal's office
Better get down here fast
'Cause Mindy passed out when her water broke
In the middle of geometry class
E
Her mama didn't know she was nine months late
B
Been getting on her about gaining weight
And now she's a grandma
BREAK:
B F#
Somebody had a baby
E
Somebody had a breakdown
F#
Aaah, it's a big day
B
In a small town
VERSE:
B
Well, Eddie Smith swore he wouldn't miss one more
Of Junior's football games
Got his twelve pack of Bud and his Friday night buzz
Heading south in the north bound lane
E
Juniors in the endzone half back pitch
B
Willie's sitting upside down in a ditch
And the crowd goes wild
BREAK:
F#
Somebody wrecked a pick up
E
Somebody scored a touchdown
F#
Aaah, it's a big day
B
In a small town
CHORUS:
B
There ain't no mall
No waffle house
But there's always something to talk about
E
Around here
Somebody shot a deer
B
Somebody's getting married
Or buried
Or carried away
F#
The sun comes up
E
And the sun goes down
F#
Aaah, it's a big day
B
In a small town
VERSE:
B
Women go around about a Methodist man
And a jail bait check out queen
His wife caught wind of unspeakable sin
Going down on aisle thirteen
E
She left all the chicken in the frying pan
B
And threw all the kids in a grand caravan
With a baseball bat
BREAK:
F#
Somebody went to Wal-mart
E
In nothing but a night gown
F#
Aaah, it's a big day
B
In a small town
CHORUS:
B
There ain't no mall
No waffle house
But there's always something to talk about
E
Around here
Somebody shot a deer
B
Somebody's getting married
Or buried
Or carried away
F#
The sun comes up
E
And the sun goes down
F#
Aaah, it's a big day
B
Hey, in a small town
