Rodney Atkins - These Are My People Lyrics

Send "These Are My People" Ringtone to Cell Phone

Well We grew up down by the railroad tracks 
shootin BB's at old beer cans 
Choakin' on the smoke from a lucky strike 
somebody lifted off his old man 

We were football flunkies 
Southern rock junkies 
Crankin' up the stereo's 
Singing Loud and Proud 
to "Gimmie Three Steps" "Simple Man" and "Curtis Low" 
We were big you know 

Got some discount knowledge at the Jr. Collage 
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 a runnin' much of anything 
just lovin' and laughin' and bustin' our asses 
and we all call it all livin' the dream 

These are my people 
This is where I come from 
Were givin' this life everything we got and then some 
It ain't always pretty 
But its 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 
'til we make it to a friday night 
And it's church league softball 
holler about a bad call 
preacher breaking up the fight 

Then later on at the Green Light Tavern 
Well everybody is gathered as friends 
And the beers a pourin' 
'til Monday mornin' 
and we start it all over again 

These are my people 
This is where I come from 
Were givin' this life everything we 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 

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 

Woo Come on 

These are my people 
This is where I come from 
Were givin' this life everything we got and then some 
It ain't always pretty 
but it's real 
Its the way we were made 
Wouldn't have it any other way ah naw 
These are my people 
Yeah, woo
