Charlie Landsborough - Counterfeit Man Lyrics

I can't afford a night on the town

Don't have no money to burn

Life in the shadows is getting me down

Seems everywhere that I turn

I meet a brick wall

I'm gonna knock'em down some day

I'm gonna walk tall

Get off the wrong road

I'm gonna find myself a better way

That's for sure

Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more



I've seen them castin glances at me

With disapprovin eyes

If they keep looking

Their gonna see

Out of the ashes I'll rise



There'll be a new dawn

I'll but an end to all their mockin

Cause I'll be reborn

I'll make a new life

Won't ever hear those hard times knockin

At my door

Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more



I'm gonna be the man that god made

Aint gonna settle for less

From now on you'll get the real thing

I'm being me

I'm gonna be a success

Oh Yes



I'm thinking different

I'm stepping out

Find me a new way to walk

I won't surrender to feelings or doubts

People will hear when I talk



Aint gonna stay down

Aint gonna let this old world kick me

Although I'm way down

I'm gonna aim high

Maybe lady luck will pick off the floor

Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more



I'm gonna be the man that god made

Aint gonna settle for less

From now on you'll get the real thing

I'm being me

I'm gonna be a success

Yeah yeah



I can't afford a night on the town

Don't have no money to burn

Life in the shadows is getting me down

Seems everywhere that I turn

I meet a brick wall

I'm gonna knock'em down some day

I'm gonna walk tall

Get off the wrong road

Find myself a better way

That's for sure

Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more

Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more

Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more
