Lyrics

NOW I'M NOT ONE OF THEM PRETTY BOYS
FROM THE PAGES OF GQ
AND I DON'T DRINK IMPORTED CHAMPAIGN
I LIKE AMERICAN BREW

BACK WHERE I WAS BORN AND RAISED
WE NEVER HAD ANY SILVER SPOONS
BUT MOM AND DADDY TAUGHT ME WELL
TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE

I TAKE PRIDE IN WORKIN HARD
I GIVE BLOOD TEARS AND SWEAT
THERE AIN'T NO SMOKE AND MIRRORS WITH ME
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

WELL I'M A SIX FOOT FIVE
STRAIGHT SHOOTIN’ SON OF A GUN
I'LL NEVER COMPROMISE WHAT I BELIEVE 
NO MATTER WHAT
I LIVE LIFE HARD BUT I'LL DIE WITH NO REGRETS
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

I'M JUST AN ORDINARY GOD FEARIN’ MAN
WHO LOVES THE RED WHITE AND BLUE
AND I'LL DEFEND YOUR RIGHT 
TO SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT
AS LONG AS YOU RESPECT ME TOO

I DON'T CARE ABOUT MATERIAL THINGS
I CAN'T TAKE IT WHEN I GO    
WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS WHAT I LEAVE BEHIND
ALL THE SEEDS I'VE SOWN
 
WELL I'M A SIX FOOT FIVE
STRAIGHT SHOOTIN’ SON OF A GUN
I'LL NEVER COMPROMISE WHAT I BELIEVE 
NO MATTER WHAT
I LIVE LIFE HARD BUT I'LL DIE WITH NO REGRETS
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

Solo

Repeat Chorus
