It's only small town talk
Expressing that the talk or gossip is confined to a small town.
You know how people are

You can't believe everything you hear
Cautioning against blindly trusting everything heard.
Only half of what you might see
Emphasizing skepticism, questioning the accuracy of observations.
But if you have to believe in anyone
