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

Raise on 4H 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
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
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]
Oh, 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
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
What you did last night, here we 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 '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
