I like it    I don't like it

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 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
And 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 burnin' 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 townThere he goes, gone again
Same old story's gotta come to an end
Lovin' him was a one way street
But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet

A quarter moon in a ten cent town
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night I wanna make myself a name
Take a month of Sundays to try and explain

It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
And harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fan dangled sky
It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy from now on

Raw as a whit but clean as a bone
Soft to the touch when you take me home
When the mornin' comes and it's time for me to leave
Don't worry 'bout me, I got a wild card up my sleeve

It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
And harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fan dangled sky
It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy from now on, from now on

It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy, easy
It's gonna be easy
