Famous in a small town

I was listening to the song "Famous in a small town" by Miranda Lambert. And I have liked that song for a long time and have been able to relate to it. So I thought I should post a blog about it. Anyone who is from a small town I think can relate to this song. Because if you live in a small town you are "famous" in a sense and everyone knows everything about you. Here are the lyrics:

"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 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 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

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 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."


So I love that song. Just take it all in. It is SO true in small towns. Very stereotypical but I have found most small town jokes to be true. :)

PS The song is on my playlist at the bottom of the page. Listen and enjoy...
