Karaoké These Are My People Rodney Atkins

Well we grew up down by the railroad tracks shootin' BB's at old beer cans

Chokin' on the smoke from a Lucky Strike somebody lifted off his old man

We were football flunkies

Southern Rock junkies crankin' up the stereos

Singing Loud and Proud to Gimmie Three Steps

Simple Man and Curtis Low

We were big you 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 a 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 'til we make it to a Friday night

And it's church league softball

Holler 'bout a bad call

Preacher breaking up the fight

Then later on at the

Green Light Tavern well everybody's gathered as friends

And the beers a pourin' 'til Monday mornin' and we start it all over again

And 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

Wooh

Come on

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

Oh no

These are my people

Yeah

Wooh
