What I Am / What I Ain’t

I’m a sinner
I’m a saint
What I am or
What I ain’t

Put those morals
Back on the shelf
Stick them on
Somebody else

I’ve got brains
I’ve got pride
I know time
Is on my side

Rolling stones
Never get mossy
Don’t ya be bold
Don’t ya be bossy

Don’t check me
Or you'll be done
So back-off, chump
Or, better yet, run

You’re a disease
And I’m the cure
Heavy dosage
That’s for sure

Find your future
Ditch your past
Make life something
Made to last

Do what you must
Just to get by
Trust in me
‘Cause I’m That Guy

  3. Love the song in this- and it's true too!
