I know a place That ain't too far from here Where you can disappear Any old time And the town Where I'm comin' from They want me to pay for what they say I've done What have I done 'Cept stand up for myself When I didn't have anybody else? What have I seen Of an honest fight? I'm just doin' what I think is right ♪ Where I come from We lived down Old Port Road A place you wouldn't know Unless you knew Now I'm a man Almost a fugitive Oh but how I've lived by my own rules What have I done 'Cept stand up for myself When I didn't have anybody else? What have I seen Of an honest fight? I'm just doin' what I think is right ♪ I know folks got Their ways of doin' things Live where the low fruit hangs That's how it is I can still see My mother's hard-earned tears Across the years in my mind What have I done 'Cept stand up for myself When I didn't have anybody else? What have I seen Of an honest fight? I'm just doin' what I think is right
