People I've Known

Here's to the girlfriends that taught me 'bout broken hearts

To Uncle Charlie, who showed me how to tap the starter with a hammer

To get the truck to start

Here's to the coaches, yeah, we won a few

But what stuck with me the most, was learnin' how to lose

Yeah, this goes out to

The people I've known

The good and the bad ones

The way back whens, the here and nows

The church pew friends and the party crowds

And the ones that wrote me off

And the ones still givin' a damn

They all made my world go 'round

Yeah, I am who I am, thanks to

More than a few of the people I've known

Here's to my Grandpa, third shift

Drinkin' coffee from a thermos

Hometown guy I stole the girl from

I got a busted lip and I deserved one

I think about all the paths I've crossed

Stayed close with some

And there's a few I've lost along the way

That I owe a call to

Thank God for all you

People I've known

The good and the bad ones

The way back whens, the here and nows

The church pew friends and the party crowds

And the ones that wrote me off

And the ones still givin' a damn

They all made my world go 'round

Yeah, I am who I am, thanks to

More than a few of the people I've known

From raised up knowin' right and wrong

To windows down blowin' smoke to a country song

Whiskey midnight, friends in low places

Forget some of the names

But remember most of the faces

Of the people I've known

The good and the bad ones

The way back whens, the here and nows

The church pew friends and the party crowds

And the ones that wrote me off

And the ones still givin' a damn

They all made my world go 'round

Yeah, I am who I am, thanks to

More than a few of the people I've known

The people I've known

Thanks to the people I've known
