Josh Thompson
Name In This Town


D                        A          G
I knocked out Buster Johnson on the playground after school;
D                    A                       G
I went from being a 3rd grade punk to 6th grade cool
         D                         A
Yeah I still hold the landspeed record
         G
Down county road 509
D                          A
Judge Taylor said he was real impressed
                 G
But wouldn`t wave the fine
         Bm                         A
Yeah I still got my picture on the bait shop wall
         G
With a 6 pound small mouth bass
Bm                   A
I see that i`m still loved and hated
           G             A
On that overpass

(chorus)
    G         A                   D
Yeah I got a name in this town
     G           A              D      
Some good, some bad that i`ll never live down
G        A              D              
Anywhere else i`m just a face in the crowd
   G         A                  D
But I got a name in this town
    G       A             D
Yeah I got a name in this town


D                                  A
Might have to fight my way out of Lucy's
         G
When I show up tonight
         D               A
Round here it seems old scores, old flames
         G
Man they never die
A                    D                              A
Then again it might just be a bunch of back-slappin'
      G
When I walk through the door
           D                     A
Hear the same ol' stories that keep gettin' bigger
           G
Than they were before
   Bm                    A                      G
I packed my things and hitched my dreams to a shootin' star
         Bm                              A
And if the world out there don't give a damn about me
    G                     A
Or this guitar, it won't matter at all cause

(chorus)
G       A         D
 I got a name in this town
     G           A              D      
Some good, some bad that i`ll never live down
G        A              D              
Anywhere else i`m just a face in the crowd
   G         A                  D
But I got a name in this town
    G       A             D
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)
D            A                    G
Risk taker, heartbreaker, troublemaker

Man I got a name in this town
D             A                   G
Big dreamer, dead ringer, not a bad singer

Yeah I got a name in this town
D        A          G
S.O.B, wild and free, you know me
    A                       D    A     G
Man I got a name in this town
                         D       A      G
I got a name in this town
                         D       A      G
I got a name in this town
