These Are My People

These Are My People - The Hit Co.

Well we grew up down by the railroad tracks

Shootin b b s at old beer cans

Chokin on the smoke from a lucky strike

Somebody lifted off of his old man

We were football flunkies

Southern rock junkies

Crackin up the stereos

Singin loud and proud to gimme three steps

Simple man and curtis low we were good yuh know

We got some discount knowledge at the junior college

Where we majored in beer and girls

It was all real funny til 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 runnin much of anything

Just lovin and laughin

And bustin our asses

And we call it all livin the dream

These are my people

This is where i come from

We're givin this life everything we've 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 bout a bad call

Preacher breakin up the fight

Then later on at the green light tavern

Well everybody's gatherin as friends

And the beer is pourin till monday mornin

Where we start all over again

These are my people

This is where i come from

We're givin this life everything we've 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

These are my people

This is where i come from

We're givin this life everything we've 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
