Small Town American Heartbreak Lyrics by Jameson Rodgers
Marlboro’s in a Mustang
Stoplight blinking yellow
Sunset on a Tulane
Matchbox on a radio
Spray paint on a train bridge
Red lips on a cold cane
Old blue jeans faded
Two kids and a heartland
Yeah, that’s what we were
We sure thought it’d last forever
Call it young love, but that fire, yeah, we had it
Before we burned out, we were some kind of classic
Hate how it went down, but we turned out okay
I still smile thinking about that small town American heartbreak
(Small town American heartbreak)
Tried to hang some Ray-Bans, back home for the summer
Slow lap holding your hand, yeah how about another kiss on the tailgate
Two hearts beatin’, makin’ memories that we’ll be keepin’
Full steam ahead even though I know you’re leavin’
Yeah that was a damn good reason to
Call in your love
But that fire yeah we had it
Before we burned out we were some kind of classic
Hate how it went down but we turned out okay
I still smile thinking about that small town American heartbreak
American Heartbreak
That’s what we were
We sure thought it’d last forever
Call it young love, but that fire, yeah, we had it
Before we burned out, we were some kind of classic
Hate how it went down, but we turned out okay
I still smile thinking about that small town American heartbreak
Small town American heartbreak
