[Verse 1] There's an old man at the café Sits in the same booth every day Knows every birthday, every backroad Every kid that moved away The waitress don't ask what he's having She pours the coffee with a smile Some folks call it routine Around here we call it life [Pre-Chorus] You don't have to wonder Where you belong Around here somebody's Already waving you on [Chorus] Everybody knows somebody Who'll show up when the sky turns gray Somebody who'll drop what they're doing Just to help you find your way One hand reaches Another one does too Funny how a little town Always sees you through Everybody knows somebody... And somebody knows you [Verse 2] There's a porch light down on Maple That never seems to burn alone If your truck won't make it home tonight You won't be walking home No cameras catch the moments No headlines ever run Just ordinary people Doing what they've always done [Pre-Chorus] No one keeps score No one keeps count That's just the way This place was found [Chorus] Everybody knows somebody Who'll show up when the sky turns gray Somebody who'll drop what they're doing Just to help you find your way One hand reaches Another one does too Funny how a little town Always sees you through Everybody knows somebody... And somebody knows you [Bridge] Maybe that's the secret We all forget to see The strongest things we build Aren't made of steel or concrete They're built one neighbor One friend One promise At a time [Final Chorus] Everybody knows somebody Who'll stand beside you when life bends Long after all the talking's over They're still there in the end One hand reaches Another one does too Turns out the thing that holds this town Has always been the truth Everybody knows somebody... And somebody knows you [Outro] Yeah... Somebody knows you...
