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
