A Tribute to little 'ol Foley, AL
In the light of a few rough patches and a few more "no"s thrown in my face I'll take a minute to remember where I came from and what I'm made of. I heard this song this morning about 4:30 driving in the dark to work and had to smile. When you think the time Crystal flipped her car six times out on a little gravel road and my grandmother knew I had been in the car and even what color it was before I ever got up the next day despite my mother and aunt trying to keep it from her. Or a hundred other times I learned that you can't get away with anything when your Bob Graham's grandson, or Ken's nephew, or Teri's kid, or Kathy's nephew, well anyway you get the point.
"Famous In A Small Town"
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 you 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
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 you 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 you 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
