A Name In This Town Lyrics - Way Out Here - Josh Thompson

I knocked out Buster Johnson on the playground after school 

I went from being a third-grade punk to sixth-grade cool 

I still hold the land speed record down County Road 509 

Judge Taylor said he was real impressed but wouldn't waive the fine 

I still got my picture on the bait shop wall 

With a six-pound smallmouth bass 

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 backslappin' 

When I walk through that door 

Hear the same ol' stories that keep getting bigger than they were before 

I packed my things and hitched my dreams to a shooting star 

And if the world out there don't give a damn about me or this guitar 

It won't matter at all 

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 

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 too proud 

But I got a name in this town, yeah, I got a name in this town 

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
