I'm Fine Either Way

A mouth full of blood, one eye swolled shut

I mustered up one last punch 'fore I bit the dust

He was the biggest dog in that fight

But he picked on me for the last time

And I spent the night icin' down my pride

Everyone in the whole 8th grade said I lost that fight that day

It was only him and me who knew about my victory

Chorus:

Comes a time when a mans gotta know where he stands

Gotta go with his heart, lick his wounds or let him rip his scars

Give all you can give, my blues might win

Like that boy that became a man that day

I'm fine either way

The walls are bare

There's an inch of dust on a broken frame

Picture perfect once til she gave up

I loved that girl with all I had

For better or worse all when bad and that was that

Naw she ain't looked back

She couldn't live with what I couldn't be

But I've learned to live with me

There's some things I didn't do right

But I'm gonna sleep fine tonight

Chorus:

Comes a time when a mans gotta know where he stands

Gotta go with his heart, lick his wounds or let him rip his scars

Give all you can give, my blues might win

She might stay gone she might come home today

I'm fine either way

I plant my feet and you can bet my mind ain't gonna change

My best friends and my enemies wouldn't hesitate to say

I'm one of those guys you either love or you hate

I'm fine either way (repeat 2x)

I'm Fine
