They say life
Is so much sweeter
Through the telephoto
Lens of fame
Around here you get
Just as much attention
Cheering at the high school
Football game
I dreamed of going
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
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
But 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 burning 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
Everybody dies famous
In a small town
Everybody dies famous
In a small town
