These Are My People Lyrics - If You're Going Through Hell - Rodney Atkins

Well we grew up down by the railroad tracks 

shootin' b.b.'s at old beer cans 

chokin' on the smoke from a lucky strike 

somebody lifted off of his old man 

we were football flunkies 

Southern rock junkies 

crackin' up the stereos 

singin' loud and proud to "Gimme Three Steps" 

"Simple Man" and "Curtis Low", we were good yuh know 

we got some discount knowledge at the junior college 

where we majored in beer and girls 

it was all real funny 'til we ran out of money 

and they threw us out into the world 

yeah the kids that thought they'd run this town 

ain't runnin' much of anything 

just lovin' and laughin' 

and bustin' our asses 

and we call it all livin' the dream

chorus 

these are my people 

this is where i come from 

we're givin' this life everything we've got and then some 

it ain't always pretty 

but it's real 

It's the way we were made 

wouldn't have it any other way 

these are my people 

well we take it all week on the chin with a grin 

till we make it to a friday night 

and it's church league softball holler 'bout a bad call 

preacher breakin' up the fight 

then later on at the green light tavern 

well everybody's gatherin' as friends 

and the beer is pourin' till monday mornin' 

where we start all over again

chorus 

we fall down and we get up 

we walk proud and we talk tough 

we got heart and we got nerve 

even if we are a bit disturbed
