Standard (EADGBE)

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
