Lyrics: Slick Shoes. Don't Mess With Texas.

Sometimes this world seems so cruel
Just as if there were no rules
I've added my fair share, I know
I wish I could take back
The cruel things I've done

But I won't let it drag me down
I'm in this for the long run
I won't let the stupid things
I've done in the past get in my way

Not just on my strength alone
I've fought for so long
It will take more than that
Before I give up

I have seen strong and weak
Give up along the way
But that will not be the case for me
Not tomorrow, not today

This world has shown me
What it has to offer
Guilt, hate, anger, and fear
Controls so many lives

But I won't let it drag me down
I'm in this for the long run
I won't let the stupid things
I've done in the past get in my way

Not just on my strength alone
I've fought for so long
It will take more than that
Before I give up

You won't see me give up
You won't see me give up

But I won't let it drag me down
I'm in this for the long run
I won't let the stupid things
I've done in the past get in my way

Not just on my strength alone
I've fought for so long
It will take more than that
Before I give up
