Always Been Me

(album: Way Out Here - 2010)

Sometimes I speak too fast, my temper's just as quick
Yeah I drive too fast, guess that's just how I live
I've earned every scar I've got, learned a lot of things the hard way
No, I ain't quite been the pillar of this community
But I've always been me

I'll take the blame when it's my fault
Get knocked down and stand up tall
Screaming, "Bring it on, I ain't scared!"
Never gone out of my way or acted fake
To impress anyone and that's okay
Sometimes I'm too proud, too loud
What you get is what you see
I've been called it all from bad news to a crazy S.O.B.
But I've always been me

My last name, I'll defend it 'til I'm gone
I try to do what's right, sometimes it comes out all wrong
Hell, I've never been an angel and I'll never claim to be
But I've always been me

I'll take the blame when it's my fault
Get knocked down and stand up tall
Screaming, "Bring it on, I ain't scared!"
Never gone out of my way or acted fake
To impress anyone and that's okay
Sometimes I'm too proud, too loud
What you get is what you see
I've been called it all from bad news to a crazy S.O.B.
But I've always been me

I don't make excuses for none of my mistakes
I am what I am and I ain't what I ain't

I'll take the blame when it's my fault
Get knocked down and stand up tall
Screaming, "Bring it on"
Never gone out of my way or acted fake
To impress anyone and that's okay
Sometimes I'm too proud, too loud
What you get is what you see
I've been called it all from bad news to a crazy S.O.B.
But I've always been me
Hell and I'll always be
