[Verse 1] Everyone knows when you stumble or fall, Gossip moves faster than the train through the hall. High school heartbreak still hangs on my name, In a town where forgiveness don’t ever change. [Pre-Chorus] Every corner, every bar, Reminds me who they think we are. [Chorus] Small-town scars don’t fade with time, They’re etched in the faces and burned in the lines. You can leave the county, you can chase the stars, But you can’t outrun them small-town scars. [Verse 2] I tried to move on, but they keep me here, Stories get louder with every beer. A mistake at sixteen’s still front-page news, In a place where the past always follows you. [Pre-Chorus] Every corner, every bar, Reminds me who they think we are. [Chorus] Small-town scars don’t fade with time, They’re etched in the faces and burned in the lines. You can leave the county, you can chase the stars, But you can’t outrun them small-town scars. [Bridge] One day I’ll find a road that don’t know my name, Where my past ain’t a curse and my pride ain’t a chain. [Chorus – Double] Small-town scars don’t fade with time, They’re etched in the faces and burned in the lines. You can leave the county, you can chase the stars, But you can’t outrun them small-town scars. [Outro] Yeah, I’m still carryin’ these small-town scars.
