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 turner "town gazette"

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 words gonna get around

Everybody dies famous in a small town

Tyler and casey broke up

It ended pretty quietly

We heard he was caught red-handed with her mama

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 you just a little too well

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

Hey words gonna get around

Everybody dies famous in a small town

Baby who

Needs their faces in a magazine

Me and you

We've been stars of the town since we were 17

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

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 words gonna get around

Everybody dies famous in a small town
