[Verse] Down at Millie’s Diner, coffee’s always hot But today there’s buzzin’ ‘bout a story that ain’t forgot Heard through the back booth, whispers spinning fast Like a wildfire blazing, gonna burn right through the past [Pre-Chorus] Everybody’s talkin’, but no one knows the truth Gossip’s got a hold on every heart and youth [Chorus] Rumors fly like a freight train rollin’ through town Tearing up the tables, turning smiles to frowns Hold on to your hats, it’s a honky-tonk fight In this small-town diner on a Saturday night Rumors fly, yeah, rumors fly But I swear, honey, we’ll see clear by and by [Verse] Jenny’s on the jukebox, spinning old love songs While the chatter’s getting louder, drivin’ folks along Tommy’s laughing sideways, but you can see his eyes Caught up in the whirlwind where the truth often dies [Pre-Chorus] Tip your glass, take a breath, don’t believe the lie In this honky-tonk ruckus, we’re just getting by [Chorus] Rumors fly like a freight train rollin’ through town Tearing up the tables, turning smiles to frowns Hold on to your hats, it’s a honky-tonk fight In this small-town diner on a Saturday night Rumors fly, yeah, rumors fly But I swear, honey, we’ll see clear by and by [Bridge] Well, truth’s a slow dance in a crowd that’s loud Hold your ground, stand tall, don’t let ‘em drag you down We’re stronger than the stories, tougher than the lies In this little old diner, love’s the sweetest prize [Chorus] Rumors fly like a freight train rollin’ through town Tearing up the tables, turning smiles to frowns Hold on to your hats, it’s a honky-tonk fight In this small-town diner on a Saturday night Rumors fly, yeah, rumors fly But I swear, honey, we’ll see clear by and by [Outro] Rumors fly, but love’s the reason why We keep on dancin’ ‘neath that jukebox sky
