One Of Those

Are you one of them sittin' in the boat, tryin' not to rock it

Or one of them that goes along just to get along?

The only change you like is the kind in your blue-jean pocket

Keeps your two cents to yourself 'til the chance to speak up is gone

Or are you one of those don't back down for nothin'?

One of those standin' up strong for somethin'

Walkin' the walk even if you gotta walk it alone

Are you one of those?

One of those tough enough not to cave in

One of those ain't too proud to pray when

Shit hits the fan and the rubber hits the road

You better know before then

If you're gonna be one of them

Or one of those

Too many times I've been one of them lookin' back, regrettin'

Who didn't do what I knew I shoulda done at the time

Yeah, Mama used to say, "Boy, you're better off over steppin

Than windin' up one of them fenced in when they draw a line

Son, you gotta be"

One of those don't back down for nothin'

One of those standin' up strong for somethin'

Walkin' the walk even if you gotta walk it alone

Are you one of those?

One of those tough enough not to cave in

One of those ain't too proud to pray when

Shit hits the fan and the rubber hits the road

You better know before then

If you're gonna be one of them

Or one of those

Don't fit in no crowd

Who won't quit and he won't sell out

One of the few and the far betweens

Who don't give a damn what it cost to be

One of those don't back down for nothin'

One of those standin' up strong for somethin'

Walkin' the walk even if you gotta walk it alone

Are you one of those?

One of those tough enough not to cave in

One of those ain't too proud to pray when

Shit hits the fan and the rubber hits the road

Yeah, you better know before then

If you're gonna be one of them

Yeah, someday, when my time ends

Hope they can say I was one of them

One of those
