I can't go
for a ride to clear my head
Cause everything I pass
puts you back in it
You were gone, moving on
But you can't be too far gone
Cause what happens in a small
town stays in a small town
Every main road we've
ever gone down
Friday night bleachers,
Sunday pews
Rainy county line bar
without a memory of you
Every whistle, 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 for the world
What happens in a small town
Stays in a small town
Every back road we've
ever gone down
Friday night blinks,
Sunday views
Ain't a county line mile
without a memory of you
Every window, every room I walk in
Every time the bartender fills it up again
Everybody knows why I'm here and
you ain't around
Cuz what happens in a small town,
stays in a small town
Yeah, I'm still here
Every time I see that little white
Jeep
Yeah, it had me down for
falling 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 black road we've
ever gone down
Friday night races
Sunday beats
Ain't a county line mile
Without a memory of you
Every whisper in the room
I walk in
Every time it falls and it 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
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
