๐ Lyrics
Well, we grew up down by the railroad tracks
Shooting BB's at old beer cans
Choking on smoke from a Lucky Strike
Somebody lifted off of his old man
We were football flunkies, Southern rock junkies
Cranking up the stereo
Singing loud and proud to "Gimme Three Steps Simple Man"
And Curtis Loew, we were good to know
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 running much of anything
But we're loving and laughing and busting our asses
And we call it all living the dream
And these are my people
This is where I come from
We're giving this life everything we got and then some
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, yeah
Well, we take it all week on the chin with a grin
'Til we make it to a Friday night
It's Church League softball, holler about a bad call
Preacher breaking up a fight
Then later on at the Green Light Tavern
Everybody gathering as friends
And the beers are pouring 'til Monday morning
And we start it all over again
And these are my people
This is where I come from
We're giving this life everything we got and then some
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
And we fall down, but we get up
We walk proud, and we talk tough
'Cause we got heart and we got nerve
Even if we are a bit disturbed
Woo, that's right
These are my people
This is where I come from
We're giving this life everything we got and then some
Ain't always pretty, but it's real
It's the way we were made, wouldn't have it any other way, oh no
These are my people, yeah, woo
Shooting BB's at old beer cans
Choking on smoke from a Lucky Strike
Somebody lifted off of his old man
We were football flunkies, Southern rock junkies
Cranking up the stereo
Singing loud and proud to "Gimme Three Steps Simple Man"
And Curtis Loew, we were good to know
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 running much of anything
But we're loving and laughing and busting our asses
And we call it all living the dream
And these are my people
This is where I come from
We're giving this life everything we got and then some
Ain't always pretty, but it's real
