[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Envy, all the girls in school wishing they were thе one
Dancing in his arms for the second yеar 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

[Chorus]
'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

[Bridge]
Mess up, go to church, hit your knees
Repent, repeat
Mess up, go to church, hit your knees
Repent, repeat

[Chorus]
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
