Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
'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
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
[Chorus]
'Cause what happens in a small town stays in a small town
[Verse 2]
Oh, we said this goodbye was the last
I guess I can leave, I could run from the past
And from us, and from you
But this is where I belong, this is my home too
[Chorus]
What happens in a small town stays in a small town
Every main 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
[Chorus]
'Cause what happens in a small town stays in a small town
[Bridge]
And I'm still here, yeah
And every time I see that little white Jeep
Yeah, that hand-me-down Ford comin' down your street
I wonder if somebody's in my seat
If you're moving on, or you're stuck like me?
[Bridge]
What happens in a small town
Stays in a small town
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
What happens in a small town stays in a small town
Every main 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)
[Chorus]
'Cause what happens in a small town
Stays in a small town
[Outro]
It stays in a small town
It stays in a small town
Now I'm still here (What happens in a small town stays in a small town)
I'm still here
I'm still here
Yeah, I'm still here
I'm still here
