Sinners in a Small Town
Pride
Everybody's got it for the hometown team
Friday nights, under lights add up to everything
So when the boys got drunk
At the afterparty
Left a nice girl crying
And nobody's sorry
They can't fumble
As long as they're chasing that division one dream
Around here, what goes around
Don't come back around
You could scream out loud
But it wouldn't make a sound
'Cause when nobody's listening
The truth it can't come out
Ashes to ashes, they don't fall down
'Cause no one judges sinners in a small town
Envy
All the girls in school wishing they were the one
Dancing in his arms
For the second year at the senior prom
But they've gotten really good at
Cover up
From all the times when
He's gotten a little too rough
And no one's gonna call the cops on the sheriff's only son
'Cause 'round here, what goes around
Don't come back around
You could scream out loud
But it wouldn't make a sound
'Cause when nobody's listening
The truth it can't come out
Ashes to ashes, they don't fall down
'Cause no one judges sinners in a small town
Oh, in a small town
Mess up, go to church
Hit your knees
Repent, repeat
Mess up, go to church
Hit your knees
Repent, repeat
Around here, what goes around
Don't come back around
You could scream out loud
But it wouldn't make a sound
'Cause when nobody's listening
The truth it can't come out
Ashes to ashes, they don't fall down
'Cause no one judges sinners in a small town
Everybody's got it for the hometown team
Friday nights, under lights add up to everything
So when the boys got drunk
At the afterparty
Left a nice girl crying
And nobody's sorry
They can't fumble
As long as they're chasing that division one dream
Around here, what goes around
Don't come back around
You could scream out loud
But it wouldn't make a sound
'Cause when nobody's listening
The truth it can't come out
Ashes to ashes, they don't fall down
'Cause no one judges sinners in a small town
Envy
All the girls in school wishing they were the one
Dancing in his arms
For the second year at the senior prom
But they've gotten really good at
Cover up
From all the times when
He's gotten a little too rough
And no one's gonna call the cops on the sheriff's only son
'Cause 'round here, what goes around
Don't come back around
You could scream out loud
But it wouldn't make a sound
'Cause when nobody's listening
The truth it can't come out
Ashes to ashes, they don't fall down
'Cause no one judges sinners in a small town
Oh, in a small town
Mess up, go to church
Hit your knees
Repent, repeat
Mess up, go to church
Hit your knees
Repent, repeat
Around here, what goes around
Don't come back around
You could scream out loud
But it wouldn't make a sound
'Cause when nobody's listening
The truth it can't come out
Ashes to ashes, they don't fall down
'Cause no one judges sinners in a small town
