Dean Brody - 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 auctions
Spaghetti dinners and parkin' lot fights
Oh, we might be a little bit backwoods
But 'round here that's all right

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 it's 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 high school 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
(Jimmy Crocket) and that twelve point rack
Oh and you thought you were alone skinny dippin' in the springs last night
Word here travels fast

Where people know you by your first name what kinda truck you drive
How your team did back in high school
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

Where people know you by your first name what kinda truck you drive
How your team did back in high school
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
