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

Down home country folks

Raised on 4H and dance hall auctions

Spaghetti dinners and parkin' lot fights

How it might be a little backwoods

Around here, that's alright

People know you by your first name

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 around here, it's a fact of life

People know you by your first name

And what you did last night

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

Of Billy Crockett and that twelve point rack

And you thought you were alone

Skinny dippin' the springs last night

But word here travels fast

People know you by your first name

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 around here, it's a fact of life

People know you by your first name

And what you did last night

Here I go

People know you by your first name

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 around here, it's a fact of life

People know you by your first name

And what you did last night

People know you by your first name

And what you did last night
