People Know You by Your First Name Lyrics

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
And down home country folks
Raised on four eighteen dance hall auctions
Spaghetti dinners and parking lot fights
How it might be a little backwoods
But 'round here it's alright

The people know you by your first name
And what kind of 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
Yeah people know you by your first name
And what you did last night

So come on down to our fund raiser dinner
It'll be a high school reunion I swear
Another family fallen on hard times
So there won't be an empty chair
Listen close and you'll hear local legend
Of William Crockett and that 12 point buck
And you thought you were alone
Skinny dippin' in the springs last night
But word here travels fast

The people know you by your first name
And what kind of 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
Yeah people know you by your first name
And what you did last night (here we go)

People know you by your first name
And what kind of 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
Yeah 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 (hey, hey)
