These Are My People

These Are My People - Knightsbridge

Well we grew up down by the railroad tracks

Shooting BB's at old beer cans

Choakin' on the smoke from a lucky strike

Somebody lifted off his old man

We were football flunkies

Southern rock junkies

Crankin' up the stereo's

Singing loud and proud

To gimmie three steps

Simple man and curtis loew

We were big know

Got some discount knowledge at the Jr Collage

Where we majored in beer and girls

It was all real funny till we ran out of money

And they threw us out into the world

Yeah the kids that thought they'd run this town

Ain't a runnin' much of anything

Just loving and laughing and bustin' our asses

And we all call it all living the dream

These are my people

This is where I come from

Were giving this life everything we got and then some

It ain't always pretty

But it's real

It's the way we were made

Wouldn't have it any other way

These are my people

Well we take it all week on the chin with a grin

Till we make it to a Friday night

And it's church league softball

Holler about a bad call

Preacher breaking up the fight

Then later on at the Green Light Tavern

Well everybody is gathered as friends

And the beers a pouring

Till Monday morning

And we start it all over again

These are my people

This is where I come from

Were giving this life everything we got and then some

It ain't always pretty

But it's real

It's the way we were made

Wouldn't have it any other way

These are my people

We fall down

And we get up

We walk proud

And we talk tough

We got heart

And we got nerve

Even if we are a bit disturbed

Woo

Come on

These are my people

This is where I come from

Were giving this life everything we got and then some

It ain't always pretty

But it's real

It's the way we were made

Wouldn't have it any other way

Ah naw

These are my people

Oh yeah

Woo
