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, movin' 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

Yeah, I'm still here, yeah

And every time I see that little white Jeep

Yeah, that hand-me-down Ford pullin' down your street

I wonder if somebody's in my seat

If you're movin' 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

It stays in a small town

It stays in a small town

And I'm still here

(Yeah, 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
