A 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 land speed record,
Down county road 5-0-9.
Judge taylor said he was real impressed,
But wouldn't waive the fine.
Yeah, i still got my picture on the bait shop wall,
With a 6 lb. smallmouth bass.
Ha, i see that i'm still loved and hated on that overpass.
Yeah, i got a name in this town,
Some good, and 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 that door.
Here the same old stories,
That keep gettin' bigger than they were before.
I packed my things and hitched my dreams,
To a superstar.
And if the world out there,
Don't give a damn about me or this guitar.
It won't matter at all
'cause i got a name in this town,
Some good, and 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,
Been called a few things i can't say right now,
A little hard-headed and a little to proud,
But i got a name in this town.
Yeah, i got a name in this town.
Whoa
Risk-taker, heart-breaker, trouble-maker,
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 & 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...
