Tuning Drop D Capo II One shot from the lawman's gun My father paid for the things he done Momma got old when she was 31 I was born alone I’m William’s son Back and forth to the foster home Till I figured out I was better off alone I hold my head high when I walk these streets Get suspicious looks from the people I meet I’ll spit in your eye and stand my ground Just to keep my head from hangin down Ain’t gonna hide and I ain’t gonna run Hell ya'll know me I’m William’s son Verse 2 I know it ain’t right to feel this way But I’m kinda glad my dad got blown away I know he grew up hard and he grew up mean But me and my sister was not to blame I’ll spit in your eye and stand my ground Just to keep my head from hangin down Ain’t gonna hide and I ain’t gonna run Hell ya'll know me I’m William’s son verse 3: Some days I can see some hope I’ve never been to jail and I don’t do dope But every now and then I kneel and pray That things’ll get better one of these days I’ll spit in your eye and stand my ground Just to keep my head from hangin down Ain’t gonna hide and I ain’t gonna run Hell ya'll know me I’m William’s son Ya'll know me I’m William’s son
