Miranda Lambert has a song out called "Everybodys Famous in A Small Town". Well, if you do not know I grew up in a very SMALL town. Jon grew up in the city. So when we heard this song Jon was like well that is most certainly you and your town that you grew up in. The thing is it is so true. Here are the lyrics:
They say life is so much sweeterthrough the telephoto lens of famearound here you get just as much attentioncheerin' at the high school football gameI dreamed of going to NashvillePut my money down and placed my betBut I just got the first buck of the seasonI made the front page of the Turnertown GazetteEvery last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tellEvery grandma, in law, ex girlfriendMaybe knows us just a little too wellWhether you're late for church or you're stuck in jailHey words gonna get aroundEverybody dies famous in a small townTyler and Casey broke upIt ended pretty quietlyWe heard he was caught red-handed with her mamaSo that's just what they let us all believeEvery last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tellEvery grandma, in law, ex girlfriendMaybe knows us just a little too wellWhether you're late for church or you're stuck in jailHey words gonna get aroundEverybody dies famous in a small townBaby whoNeeds their faces in a magazineMe and youWe've been stars of the town since we were 17Let's go on down to the quick stopWear your yellow shadesAnd I'll put on my tight jeansAnd we'll just spend the weekend burnin' rubberAnd we'll let em point and stare in disbeliefEvery last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tellEvery grandma, in law, ex girlfriendMaybe knows us just a little too wellWhether you're late for church or you're stuck in jailHey words gonna get aroundEverybody dies famous in a small town.
I love it, and I thought I would share. Hugs, Lisa

I heard that song on my way to Bama a couple weeks ago--thought it was great! I also love the boondocks song. Just reminds me of home. Yeah-sometimes I miss the quiet of the small town--no sirens and neighbors being too loud. it's always great to go back to visit.
