The Westerner
I was born one morning in DecemberOn the coldest dayAbandoned by my motherWhom my father I was raisedMy father raised my brother and IWith a stubborn heartMy mother left me her good looks and confident charm
Well I spent most of my teenage yearsSearching for her loveI could not find it anywhereSo I turned to drugsAnd after all the smoke had clearedAnd it was said and doneI found myself addicted by the age of 21
I tell the truthI've been beatenI've been bruisedI was left for dead as wellI was wrongfully accusedYou left me locked inside a cell
I've been cheatedI've been suedBut I have lived to tellThe more you kick me when I'm downThe more it truly helps
I feel the madness creeping slowlyLoved by many, I'm still lonelyPaid the price for your mistakeThe music died the day I walked away
No, I won't let you winNot this time my friendYou know that I'm better in the endNo, you won't take my prideI'll keep my head held high'Cause I know that I'm better in the end
Woaaah,I know you're jealousAnd you wish you could be meI'm so smart and clever with my lyrics can't you see?There's nobody better in this music industryAnd in case you think you are, go ahead, give me a ring
WoaaahI deserve a purple heartFrom all my fucking woundsLacerations to my egoPride that I consume
And in your final hoursWhen you are looking backYou'll find that I'm the best at what I doAnd that's a fact
No, I won't let you winNot this time my friendYou know that I'm better in the endNo, you won't take my prideI'll keep my head held high'Cause I know that I'm better in the endAnd all I got to say(Do do do do do do do do, bah bah bah da,Do do do do do do do do, la la la la la la)
Take it or leave itBut you best believe me it's trueThere's no mistaking, so please stop the faking, I'm throughYou know I'm better than you
No, I won't let you winNot this time my friendYou know that I'm better in the endNo, you won't take my prideI'll keep my head held high'Cause I know that I'm better in the endIn the end(Do do do do do do do do, bah bah bah da,Do do do do do do do do, la la la la la la)
