[Chorus - light opening] The city knows my name now Somebody waves when I come round I used to be a face going nowhere in a crowd The city knows my name now [Verse 1] First week here, I ate from the pan One chair, two boxes, no weekend plans Missed my stop and missed my friends Said I'd give it one more month again Then the downstairs neighbor knocked at nine With a borrowed corkscrew and an extra slice [Pre-Chorus] Little by little, door by door I'm finding what I came here for [Chorus] The city knows my name now Somebody waves when I come round I used to be a face going nowhere in a crowd The city knows my name now There's a coffee waiting, there's a place to go There's a song from a window on my walk back home I don't have to be from here to put my roots down The city knows my name now [Post-Chorus] Hey, good to see you Hey, how you been? Four little words can let the whole world in [Verse 2] The corner shop remembers what I need There's a Sunday game that saves a place for me I still call home and miss that kitchen light But missing there doesn't make this here less mine Got an extra chair from a secondhand store Now there's someone laughing while I stir the sauce [Pre-Chorus] Little by little, street by street This place is making room for me [Chorus] The city knows my name now Somebody waves when I come round I used to be a face going nowhere in a crowd The city knows my name now There's a coffee waiting, there's a place to go There's a song from a window on my walk back home I don't have to be from here to put my roots down The city knows my name now [Bridge] New kid came to the Sunday game Hands in his pockets, looking away I moved my bag off the empty seat Said, "Glad you made it, come sit by me" [Instrumental percussion and guitar break] [Final Chorus] The city knows my name now Somebody waves when I come round And I'm waving back at faces I don't know just yet The city knows my name now [Outro] Hey, good to see you Hey, come on in Four little words can let the whole world in
