First Name Kind Of Town

I met Erin in the spring of 98,
We fell in love in a matter of days,
Her mama Anna did her best to smile,
Though she wanted more for her first born child,

Matt kissed Kendal on a Friday night,
Nine months later she was his new wife,
Rock and Scott went to a lot of church,
Two twin brothers that believed in every word,

What you do or say,
Will make it's way around,
When you're living' in a first name,
Kind of town,

Joe and Greg had the grades to go to school,
Daniel stayed to work a trade with tools,
Chad and Jason split their daddy's land,
One fights fire and the other wears a badge,

And it's a high stakes game,
If the sirens sound,
When you're living' in a first name,
Kind of town,

And they all say,
you're gonna miss it,
It's not the same,
If you just visit,
And I laughed,
Cuz they don't know shit,
But here I am,
Guitar in hand,
Trying to own it,

Kirk fought hard, but the bottle won,
When Travis went, he left his only son,
Marty passed and we were close by,
Rebecca buried Winnie by Daves side,

They won't use your last name,
Till they put you in the ground,
When you're living' in a first name,
Kind of town,
