People Know You By Your First Name

It's a town just outside of nowhere

with a general store and one lamp pole

we got wheat fields saw mills and coal mines

down home country folks

raised on 4H and dance hall acutions

spaghetti dinners and parkin lot fights,

ohh we might be a little bit backwoods

but `round here that's alright

[Chorus:]

where people know you by your first name

what kinda truck you drive

how your team did back in high school

so you can't lie

better watch out who you take home

`cause `round here its a fact of life

that people know you by your first name

and what you did last night

so c'mon down to our fund raiser dinner it'll be a highschool reunion I swear

another family fallin' on hard times

so there won't be an empty chair

listen close and you'll hear a local legend

[?] and that twelve point rack

oh and you thought you were alone skinny dippin in the springs last night

word here travels fast

[Chorus:]

where people know you by your first name what kinda truck you drive

how your team did back in highschool

so can't lie

better watch out who you take home

`cause `round here it's a fact of life

that people know you by your first name

and what you did last night

here we go

[Chorus:]

where people know you by your first name what kinda truck you drive

how your team did back in highschool

so can't lie

better watch out who you take home

`cause `round here it's a fact of life

that people know you by your first name

and what you did last night

yeah people know you by your first name

and what you did last night
