I was raised up by a simple man I grew up with a gun in my hand Taught me how to love and how to fight Taught me what's wrong Taught me what's right Said you don't have a choice to choose Do what you can and don't ever lose Just remember even when I'm dead and gone Stick to your guns, son Make me proud Don't ever back up, don't ever back down Stand your ground and always tell it like it is 'Cause this life can be real damn tough You take them scars and you call that bluff Don't let me catch you fittin' in 'Cause everyone's an outlaw Till it's time to do outlaw shit Well the times have changed but not for me I've got my own home now and a family Two calloused hands and some old work boots Bustin' my ass, payin' my dues I tell my kids every night Try to see the world through your neighbor's eyes And make a difference if you can Stick to your guns, son Make me proud Don't ever back up, don't ever back down Stand your ground and always tell it like it is 'Cause this life's gonna be real damn tough You take them scars and you call that bluff Don't let me catch you fittin' in Cause everyone's an outlaw Till it's time to do outlaw shit Stick to your guns, son Make me proud Don't ever back up, don't ever back down Stand your ground and always tell it like it is Yeah, this life's gonna be real damn tough You take them scars and you call that bluff Don't let me catch you fittin' in 'Cause everyone's an outlaw Till it's time to do outlaw shit
