I know a place
That ain't too far from here
Where you can disappear any ol' time
And the town where I am coming from
They want me to pay for what they say I've done
What have I done cept stand up for myself
When I didn't have anybody else
What have I seen of an honest fight
I'm just doing what I think is right
Where I come from
We live down old Fort Road
A place you wouldn't know, unless you knew
Now I'm a man, almost a fugitive
Oh but how I've lived
By my own rules
What have I done cept stand up for myself
When I didn't have anybody else
What have I seen of an honest fight
I'm just doing what I think is right
I know folk's got
Their ways of doing things
Live where the low fruit hangs, that's how it is
I can still see
My mother's hard earned tears
Across the years
In my mind
What have I done cept stand up for myself
When I didn't have anybody else
What have I seen of an honest fight
I'm just doing what I think is right
