People Know You By Your First Name

(album: Trail In Life - 2010)

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 falling 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
