Famous In a Small Town

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 going to Nashville
 Put my money down and placed my bet
 But I just got the first buck of the season
 I made the front page of the Turnertown Gazette
 Every last one, route one, rural heart's
 Got a story to tell
 Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend
 Maybe knows it 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
 Tyler and Casey broke up
 It ended pretty quietly
 And we heard he was caught red-handed with her mama
 So that's just what they let us all believe
 Every last one, route one, rural heart's
 Got a story to tell
 Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend
 Maybe knows it 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
 Well, baby, who needs their faces in a magazine?
 Me and you, we've been stars in this town since we were seventeen
 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
 'Cause every last one, route one, rural heart's
 Got a story to tell
 Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend
 Maybe knows it just a little too well
 Whether you're late for church
 Or you're stuck in jail
 Hey, word's gonna get around
