Famous Friends

Chris Young & Kane Brown

My buddy Brandon holds a record

For single season touchdown throws

And good old Johnny, he’s the life of every party

It’s like Cheers, they know him everywhere he goes

I’ve got some famous friends you’ve probably never heard of

But back in Rutherford County our crowd is second to none

You might not know ’em here in this big city we’re in

But when I go back home I’ve got some famous friends

Yeah, I do

My buddy Jason, he’s the sheriff

He’ll flash his lights but let me go

My boy Randy, he’s a preacher

My girl Megan, she’s been Teacher of the Year

I swear for five years in a row

I’ve got some famous friends you’ve probably never heard of

But back in Hamilton County our crowd is second to none

You might not know ’em here in this big city we’re in

But when I go back home I’ve got some famous friends

Yeah, I do

I got friends in high places on these small-town roads

’Cause ’round here it’s all about the people that you know

And I’ve got some famous friends you’ve probably never heard of

But back in Davidson County our crowd is second to none

You might not know ’em here in this big city we’re in

But when I go back home I’ve got some famous friends

Yeah, I do

Yeah, I do

Might not know ’em here in this big city we’re in

But when I go back home I got some famous friends, yeah

I’ve got some famous friends

(I’ve got some famous friends)

Yeah

Review

This song is essentially a rewrite of Miranda Lambert’s “Famous in a Small Town.” It has the same core concept, with the focus more on individuals than on the town as a whole. It’s one of those nostalgic country songs about the small town one has grown up in. Chris Young has some twang in his voice and doesn’t drench himself in autotune, while Kane Brown is a great singer.
