Everybody Knows His Name

Intro

Everybody knows his name, hey! (hey)

Everybody knows his name, oh-oh

Everybody knows his name, yeah! (yeah)

Everybody knows his name

Verse

He walks through the door and the room rearranges

A crooked grin, two scars, a map of old exchanges

Boots hit the floor like thunder in a parade

Every head turns 'cause the story's been replayed

He don't need no title, don't need no gold

Just a worn-out jacket and a story told

When the streetlight hits the back of his coat

People lean in close to hear what he wrote

Pre-chorus

He'll say one line and the whole place sways

A truth like a match in a smoky haze

You can run, you can hide, but you can't pretend

When he raises his fist, the room bends

Chorus

Everybody knows his name, hey! (hey)

Everybody knows his name, oh-oh

Everybody knows his name, yeah! (yeah)

Everybody knows his name

Everybody knows his name, hey! (hey)

Everybody knows his name, oh-oh

Everybody knows his name, yeah! (yeah)

Everybody knows his name

Verse

He stole the silence and turned it into a roar

Left footprints on the map where they said "no more"

He laughs like a dare, talks like a fight

Turns the darkest corner into open light

He keeps a crooked watch on the brave and the bored

A promise in his pocket, a guitar chord

When the band hits the riff, he steps to the line

And a thousand strangers feel like they're his kind

Pre-chorus

He'll nod once and the night will claim

A chorus of names that won't be the same

You can say it's madness, you can call it fame

But the alley sings when he signs his name

Chorus

Everybody knows his name, hey! (hey)

Everybody knows his name, oh-oh

Everybody knows his name, yeah! (yeah)

Everybody knows his name

Everybody knows his name, hey! (hey)

Everybody knows his name, oh-oh

Everybody knows his name, yeah! (yeah)

Everybody knows his name

Bridge

Take the slow burn, take the midnight call

He's the last one laughing when the towers fall

A crooked halo, a promised flame

He says "hold on tight," and we shout his name

(na-na-na) Na-na-na, na-na-na

(na-na-na) Na-na-na, na-na-na

Chorus

Everybody knows his name, hey! (hey)

Everybody knows his name, oh-oh

Everybody knows his name, yeah! (yeah)

Everybody knows his name

Everybody knows his name, hey! (hey)

Everybody knows his name, oh-oh

Everybody knows his name, yeah! (yeah)

Everybody knows his name

Chorus

Everybody knows his name, hey! (hey)

Everybody knows his name, oh-oh

Everybody knows his name, yeah! (yeah)

Everybody knows his name
