William's Son Lyrics - Enough Rope - Chris Knight

One shot from a lawman's gun 

My father paid for the things he done 

Mama got old when she was 31 

I was born alone, I'm William's son 

Back and forth to the foster homes 

Til 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 

(Chorus) 

And I'll spit in your eye, 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 

I know it ain't right to feel this way 

But I'm kinda glad my daddy got blown away 

I know he grew up hard and he grew up mean 

But meand little sister, no we ain't to blame 

And we'll spit in your eye and stand our ground 

Just to keep our heads from hangin down 

We ain't gonna hide and we ain't gonna run 

Hell ya'll know me, I'm Wiliam's son 

And I'll spit in your eye, 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 

I'm William's son
