Southern boy in a city shell Raised here against my will Bring the walls down, bring the walls down Grew up singing momma's hymns Wide eyed and innocent Bring the walls down now 'Cause I don't like the rules no more 'Cause I learned what I'm striving for So turn it up loud now It's about shaking up this town Break a few rules, let your hair down Come on, let's shake it up right Put your hands in the air now Sing it out loud, make the band proud Nothin' but love in the big crowd
Let it all out tonight Where the outlaws ride I know where I come from And I'm proud of the roots i've grown But a boy must learn to dream A couple diamonds in the rough Fine wine in a paper cup But it's what you choose to see Let the dead bury the dead And chase the light that shines ahead I am a bull in this red linen world And my horns are as sharp As a double-edged sword And I used to cry all alone in my room But now I've come alive With the lies I consumed
