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
