People I've Known

(album: Timeless - 2020)

Here's to the girlfriends that taught me 'bout broken hearts
To Uncle Charlie, who showed me how to tap the starter with a hammer
To get the truck to start
Here's to the coaches, yeah we won a few
But what stuck with me the most, was learning how to lose
Yeah, this goes out to

The people I've known
The good and the bad ones
The way back whens, the here and nows
The church pew friends and the party crowds
And the ones that wrote me off
And the ones still given' a damn
They all made my world go round
Yeah I am who I am, thanks to
More than a few of the people I've known

Here's to my Grandpa, third shift
Drinking coffee from a thermos
Hometown guy I stole the girl from
I got a busted lip and I deserved one
I think about all the paths I've crossed
Stayed close with some
And there's a few I've lost along the way
That I owe a call to
Thank God for all you

The people I've known
The good and the bad ones
The way back whens, the here and nows
The church pew friends and the party crowds
And the ones that wrote me off
And the ones still given' a damn
They all made my world go round
Yeah I am who I am, thanks to
More than a few of the people I've known

From raised up knowing right and wrong
To windows down blowing smoke to a country song
Whiskey midnight, friends in low places
Forget some of the names
But remember most of the faces of

The people I've known
The good and the bad ones
The way back whens, the here and nows
The church pew friends and the party crowds
And the ones that wrote me off
And the ones still given' a damn
They all made my world go round
Yeah I am who I am, thanks to
More than a few of the people I've known

The people I've known, thanks to the people I've known
