Karaoké Famous in a Small Town 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 it just a little too well

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

Hey words it'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 hearts 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 words gonna get around

Everybody dies famous in a small town

Oh 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 empoint and stare in disbelief

'Cos every last one, route one rural hearts 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 words gonna get around

Everybody dies famous in a small town

Everybody dies famous in a small town
