Lyrics
Wasn't more than half a mile between the city limits sign
The population's cut in half the day they shut down the mine
The only thing that hasn't changed the way the gossip spreads
Cindy Lou's nails and hairdos and the Guntersville Gazette
When I got home from travelin' the first paper I picked up
Found the girl I thought was waitin' had waited long enough
Right beside her smilin' face I'm the bride's to be
Said Saturday Miss Mandy Chase would be Mrs. William McGee
Never know from page to page whether you will laugh or cry
One page a baby's born on the next an old friend dies
Get advice from Gabby's Corner all of that for just a quarter
I was raised that three things you never question what they said
Grandpa the gospel and the Guntersville Gazette
Two lonely concrete islands stickin' above the ground
Underneath heartbreakin' headlines
Pump is gassed and tires burned down
Sallie Mae's the honor roll the Cowboys finally beat the Jets
Read all about it in the Guntersville Gazette
Never know from page to page whether you will laugh or cry
One page a baby's born on the next an old friend dies
Get advice from Gabby's Corner all of that from just a quarter
I was raised that three things you never question what they said
Grandpa the gospel and the Guntersville Gazette
Wise old men and church house a hand crank printin' press
Grandpa the gospel and the Guntersville Gazette
