What Happens in a Small Town

I can't go for a ride to clear my head

'Cause everything I pass puts you back in it

Yeah, we're done, moving on

But you can't be too far gone

'Cause what happens in a small town stays in a small town

Every back road we've ever gone down

Friday night bleachers, Sunday pews

Ain't a county line mile without a memory of you

Every whisper, every room I walk in

Every time the bartender fills it up again

Everybody knows why I'm here

And you ain't around

'Cause what happens in a small town stays in a small town

Oh, we said this goodbye was the last

I guess I could leave, I could run from the past

And from us, and from you

But this is where I belong, this is my home too

What happens in a small town stays in a small town

Every back road we've ever gone down

Friday night bleachers, Sunday pews

Ain't a county line mile without a memory of you

Every whisper, every room I walk in

Every time the bartender fills it up again

Everybody knows why I'm here

And you ain't around

'Cause what happens in a small town stays in a small town

And I'm still here

And every time I see that little white Jeep

Yeah, that hand-me-down Ford pulling down your street

I wonder if somebody's in my seat

If you're moving on, or you're stuck like me?

'Cause what happens in a small town stays in a small town

Oh yeah

What happens in a small town stays in a small town

Every back road we've ever gone down

Friday night bleachers, Sunday pews

Ain't a county line mile without a memory of you

Every whisper, every room I walk in

Every time the bartender fills it up again

Everybody knows why I'm here

And you ain't around (you ain't around)

'Cause what happens in a small town stays in a small town

Stays in a small town

Stays in a small town

Now I'm still here

(What happens in a small town)

I'm still here

(Stays in a small town)

I'm still here

Yeah I'm still here

I'm still here
