Travis Tritt - Stand Your Ground lyrics

I've been called a hell-raiser A honky-tonk trailblazer A rebel soul for damn near all my life And when they tried to change me I never let it phase me I kept my nose to the grindstone in the barrooms every night I played the old songs A few of mine I did it my way, it worked every time Don't let no one tell you how to feel Keep leanin' on what you know is real If you sing a lie, they're gonna see right through They'll say they have a crystal ball But trust me, they don't know it all There ain't no substitution for the truth Don't ever let them turn your head around Just stand your ground A friend of mine once told me "Hoss, they've bought and sold me" "I think I may have learned a thing or two" But you just keep on pickin' 'Cause them suits don't buy your tickets It's the everyday blue-collar folks that do I play the old songs Some of mine Still do it my way, it works every time So don't let no one tell you how to feel Keep leanin' on what you know is real If you sing a lie, they're gonna see right through They'll say they have a crystal ball Trust me, they don't know it all There ain't no substitution for the truth Don't ever let them turn your head around Just stand your ground Yeah, don't let no one tell you how to feel Keep leanin' on what you know is real If you sing a lie, they're gonna see right through They'll say they have a crystal ball But trust me, they don't know it all There ain't no substitution for the truth Don't ever let them turn your head around Just stand your ground Just stand your ground Just stand your ground, yeah-yeah
