By: Chris knight

Tuning: Drop D
Capo II


D
One shot from the lawman's gun
   F                   C         D
My father paid for the things he done
D
Momma got old when she was 31
  F                  C         D
I was born alone I?m William?s son
D

Back and forth to the foster home
     F                          C     D
Till I figured out I was better off alone
D
I hold my head high when I walk these streets
    F                         C        D
Get suspicious looks from the people I meet


Chorus:

     D
I?ll spit in your eye and stand my ground
        F                 C      D
Just to keep my head from hangin down
D
Ain?t gonna hide and I ain?t gonna run
     F                 C         D
Hell ya'll know me I?m William?s son


Verse 2:
D
I know it ain?t right to feel this way
    F                     C         D
But I?m kinda glad my dad got blown away
D
I know he grew up hard and he grew up mean
    F                    C      D
But me and my sister was not to blame


Chorus:

     D
I?ll spit in your eye and stand my ground
        F                 C      D
Just to keep my head from hangin down
D
Ain?t gonna hide and I ain?t gonna run
     F                 C         D
Hell ya'll know me I?m William?s son


Verse 3:

D
Some days I can see some hope
     F                        C        D
I?ve never been to jail and I don?t do dope
D
But every now and then I kneel and pray
     F                    C            D
That things?ll get better one of these days


Chorus: x2

     D
I?ll spit in your eye and stand my ground
        F                 C      D
Just to keep my head from hangin down
D
Ain?t gonna hide and I ain?t gonna run
     F                 C         D
Hell ya'll know me I?m William?s son
F                 C         D
Ya'll know me I?m William?s son
