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 cryin', and nobody's sorry
They can't fumble as long as they're chasing that Division 1 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
And 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
