Dean Brody - People Know You By Your First Name Lyrics

It's a town just outside of nowhere
With a general store and one lamp poll
We got wheat fields, saw mills and coal mines
Down home country folks

Raised on 4-H and dance hall auctions
Spaghetti dinners and parking lot fights
How it might be a little backwards
But 'round here it's alright

The people know you by your first name
And what kind of truck you drive
How you teamed it 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
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
[Incomprehensible]
And you thought you were alone
Skinny dipping 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 you teamed it 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
What you did last night, here you go

People know you by your first name
And what kind of truck you drive
How you teamed it 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
What you did last night

Yeah, people know you by your first name
What you did last night, hey, hey
