Small Town Famous

Been out to every show
From the hole in the walls
To the main stage festivals
Bought the merch, the CDs, shirts
Koozies and hats and all the posters
The VIP backstage pass
But little did I know that you were so crass

I guess you must be jaded
Your fans and friends have all but faded

'Cause you're small town famous
A few strums and a pick up line
Small town famous
Cheap talk over red, red wine
Small town famous
A hug, a smile, a friendly handshake
And you don't even know my name
'Cause you're small town famous

I drove across town to see you wail
Paid five at the door but my friends all bailed
Stayed 'til the end, hung by the stage
While you chatted with a girl at least half your age
You made it to me in time for last call
Instead you ran to the bar for a little more alcohol

I guess I must be jealous
I hate to be the one to tell ya

You're just small town famous
You're recognized in the parking lot
Small town famous
One hit and you think you're hot
Small town famous
You think you've paid your dues
And your fans only feel abused
You're small town famous

Not just about getting from A to B
Oh, it's the miles in between
There's not much difference between you and me
But you might be too blind to see

Small town famous, mmm yeah
Small town famous

Small town famous
A few strums and a pick up line
Small town famous
Cheap talk over red, red wine
Small town famous
A hug, a smile, a friendly handshake
And you don't even know my name
No, you don't even know my name
'Cause you're small town famous
Woah, small town famous
