Tried And True — текст песни (montgomery gentry)

(Clay Davidson/Matt Hendrix)

I was born in a small town in the hills of Tennessee
Kentucky raised, just a country boy and that`s all I`ll ever be
My daddy ran a still house to keep us kids alive
Just doin` what he had to do after mama died
The same people that called him no good
Would meet him in the back woods for a little taste
He said I may take your money but don`t put yourself above me
Don`t cut me down as you walk away

You don`t know me you don`t know who I am
You don`t know the pain that I`ve been through
So don`t judge me till you stand where I stand
I don`t need you or anyone else to approve
Cause the blood in these veins is tried and true

I left home at sixteen with a guitar on my back
With everything I called my own I carried in a paper sack
Spent years of havin` nothin` and sleepin` in my car
I`d drive all day and play all night
In the honky tonks and bars

The same people that called me crazy
Said I`m too lazy to amount to anything
Are the first ones to the stage just beggin` for a little taste
Who say you knew me when nobody knew my name but

You don`t know me you don`t know who I am
You don`t know the pain that I`ve been through
So don`t judge me till you stand where I stand
I don`t need you or anyone else to approve
Cause the blood in these veins is tried and true

The same people that called me crazy
Said I`m too lazy to amount to anything
Are the first ones to the stage just beggin` for a little taste
Who say you knew me when nobody knew my name but

You don`t know me you don`t know who I am
You don`t know the pain that I`ve been through
So don`t judge me till you stand where I stand
I don`t need you or anyone else to approve
Cause the blood in these veins is tried and true

The blood in these veins is tried and true
