Reilly Donnelly - I Know Where I Stand Lyrics

I don't follow no fancy trends, don't worry about the little, live the best life I can
I'm an old soul who's running tired, of these changing streets and squealing tires
I'm not afraid of a little sweat, won't spend another's money, won't live a life in debt
When that clock strikes five and it's the dawn of my new day
Ill offset the temptations and leave the path astray

I can't forget my roots, ill stand strong and steady
When the cavalry comes ill be armed and ready
I know, just the type of man I am
They'll say my heads in a mess, they'll fix it with a pill
Little bit of a nicotine addiction and a doctor's bill
I know, just they type of man I am
I know where I stand

They'll give ridicule and shame to the hungry man
Who doesn't sleep at night because he's working on his plan
They'll strike down those with a might
They'll holler from a distance but be too scared to fight
Now the shepherd may act like he knows what's best
But don't trust his hand he plays too close to the vest
When it's all said and done and I'm six feet underground
I'll be free of unrest, for not living in the crowd

I can't forget my roots, ill stand strong and steady
When the cavalry comes ill be armed and ready
I know, just the type of man I am
They'll say my heads in a mess, they'll fix it with a pill
Little bit of a nicotine addiction and a doctor's bill
I know, just they type of man I am
I know where I stand

Well, the angel and the devil like to be portrayed
But they're part of the same family, have the same last name
When those microphones turn off and those lights go down
They'll drink together and share a couple rounds

I can't forget my roots, ill stand strong and steady
When the cavalry comes ill be armed and ready
I know, just the type of man I am
They'll say my heads in a mess, they'll fix it with a pill
Little bit of a nicotine addiction and a doctor's bill
I know, just they type of man I am
I know where I stand

I can't forget my roots, ill stand strong and steady
When the cavalry comes ill be armed and ready
I know, just the type of man I am
They'll say my heads in a mess, they'll fix it with a pill
Little bit of a nicotine addiction and a doctor's bill
I know, just they type of man I am
I know where I stand
