Josh Thompson
Name In This Town
I knocked out Buster Johnson on the playground after school;
I went from being a 3rd grade punk to 6th grade cool
Yeah I still hold the landspeed record
Down county road 509
Judge Taylor said he was real impressed
But wouldn`t wave the fine
Yeah I still got my picture on the bait shop wall
With a 6 pound small mouth bass
I see that i`m still loved and hated
On that overpass
(chorus)
Yeah I got a name in this town
Some good, some bad that i`ll never live down
Anywhere else i`m just a face in the crowd
But I got a name in this town
Yeah I got a name in this town
Might have to fight my way out of Lucy s
When I show up tonight
Round here it seems old scores, old flames
Man they never die
Then again it might just be a bunch of back-slappin
When I walk through the door
Hear the same ol stories that keep gettin bigger
Than they were before
I packed my things and hitched my dreams to a shootin star
And if the world out there don t give a damn about me
Or this guitar, it won t matter at all cause
(chorus)
I got a name in this town
Some good, some bad that i`ll never live down
Anywhere else i`m just a face in the crowd
But I got a name in this town
Yeah I got a name in this town
Yeah I got a name in this town
Been called a few things I shouldn t say right now
A little hard-headed and a little too proud
But I got a name in this town
Yeah I got a name in this town
(bridge)
Risk taker, heartbreaker, troublemaker
Man I got a name in this town
Big dreamer, dead ringer, not a bad singer
Yeah I got a name in this town
S.O.B, wild and free, you know me
Man I got a name in this town
I got a name in this town
I got a name in this town
