Famous in a Small Town

[Verse 1]

They say life is so much sweeter

Through the telephoto lens of fame

Around here you get just as much attention

Cheerin' at the high school football game

I dreamed of goin' to Nashville

Put my money down and place my bet

But I just got the first buck of the season

I made the front page of the "Turner Town Gazette"

[Chorus]

Every last one, route one, rural heart's got a story to tell

Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend

Maybe knows you just a little too well

Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail

Hey, word's gonna get around

Everybody dies famous in a small town

[Verse 2]

Tyler and Casey broke up

It ended pretty quietly

We heard he was caught red-handed with her mama

So that's just what they let us all believe

[Chorus]

Every last one, route one, rural heart's got a story to tell

Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend

Maybe knows you just a little too well

Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail

Hey, word's gonna get around

Everybody dies famous in a small town

[Bridge]

Baby, who

Needs their faces in a magazine?

Me and you

We've been stars of the town since we were seventeen

[Verse 4]

Let's go on down to the quick stop

Wear your yellow shades, and I'll put on my tight jeans

And we'll just spend the weekend burnin' rubber

And we'll let 'em point and stare in disbelief

[Chorus]

'Cause every last one, route one, rural heart's got a story to tell

Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend

Maybe knows you just a little too well

Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail

Hey, word's gonna get around

Everybody dies famous in a small town

Everybody dies famous in a small town
