Famous In A Small Town

I'm not from a small town, and I will probably never know how this feels (but I know people who do!) Unless I move back to the town my husband is from, and in that case, it won't quite be the same. His family practically owns it. And we're practically hermits, so no one would know what we're doing anyway! Oh, and the town isn't big enough! I really wanted to post these for TC because she IS from a small town. Regardless, I love the song!

Famous In A Small Town by Miranda Lambert

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 hearts got a story to tell
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
Maybe knows us 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 hearts got a story to tell
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
Maybe knows us 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 distantly
Every last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tell
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
Maybe knows us 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

I love you Kari :) You rock!

I totally bought this song off iTunes: I was in love the first time I heard it! Glad to know it makes someone else think of me though, lol.
