Stand Your Ground

Alcohol barter skills is what I'm doing now to pay these bills No potters field or shallow grave It ain't money I'm tryin' to save Well, never did I need another I was never good with others Always had to hold my cover Ryman gates still make me shudder You can get right up or lay right down That's the life in this southern town Well, I don't care what's falling round Well, that's the life in this Southern town So stand your ground I come from a stubborn blend Like a thorn to tear the skin That's aspartame and coffee grounds Is what I'm doing now to face these clowns And I've got a jog, I've got a sod I sink my feet there in the clod To reach and grown out through my legs Then touch the souls alive and dead You can get right up or lay right down That's the life in this Southern town Well, I don't care what's falling round Well, that's the life in this Southern town So stand your ground Living life on the edge of this town And I fall and I kiss the ground I ain't lost and I ain't found 'Cause you can get right up or lay right down That's the life in this Southern town I don't care what's falling round That's the life in this Southern town That's the life in this Southern town You must stand your ground Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
