These Are My People

Johnny Cash

Well We grew up Down by the railroad Tracks
shootin 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 Low"
We were big ya 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
aint a runnin much of anything
just lovin and livin and bustin our asses
and we all call it all livin the dream

These are my people
This is where I come from
Were givin this life everything we got and then some
It aint always pretty
But its real
Its 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 pourin
till Monday Mornin
and we start it all over again

These are my people
This is where I come from
Were givin this life everything we got and then some
It aint always pretty
but its real
Its 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

Wooo Come on

These are my people
This is where I come from
Were givin this life everything we got and then some
It aint always pretty
but its real
Its the way we were made
Wouldn't have it any other way Ah naw
These Are My People Yeah woo
