[00:00.00]Rodney Atkins - These Are My People
[00:10.16]Well we grew up down by the railroad tracks
[00:12.70]Shootin' b.b.'s at old beer cans
[00:15.56]Chokin' on the smoke from a lucky strike
[00:18.02]Somebody lifted off of his old man
[00:20.71]We were football flunkies
[00:22.16]Rock and roll junkies
[00:23.61]Crackin' up the stereos
[00:25.94]Singin' loud and proud to gimme three steps
[00:28.55]And that old time rock and roll we can't be known
[00:36.71]We got some discount knowledge at the junior college
[00:39.50]Where we majored in beer and girls
[00:41.82]It was all real funny 'til we ran out of money
[00:44.52]And they threw us out into the world
[00:47.17]Yeah the kids that thought they'd run this town
[00:49.78]Ain't runnin' much of anything
[00:52.41]We're just lovin' and laughin'
[00:54.02]And bustin' our asses
[00:55.10]And we call it all livin' the dream
[02:36.64][01:44.89][00:57.86]These are my people
[02:38.96][01:47.07][01:00.25]This is where I come from
[02:42.56][01:50.43][01:03.91]We're givin' this life everything we've got and then some
[02:46.94][01:55.08][01:08.15]It ain't always pretty
[02:49.53][01:58.07][01:10.95]But it's real
[02:52.89][02:00.65][01:14.15]That's the way we were made
[02:54.18][02:02.55][01:15.65]Wouldn't have it any other way
[02:57.84][02:05.02][01:17.92]These are my people
[01:23.89]Well we take it all week on the chin with a grin
[01:26.38]Till we make it to a friday night
[01:29.06]And it's church league softball holler 'bout a bad call
[01:31.92]Preacher breakin' up the fight
[01:34.38]Then later on at the green light tavern
[01:37.23]Well everybody's gatherin' as friends
[01:39.77]And the beer is pourin' till monday mornin'
[01:42.44]Where we start all over again
[02:07.96]We fall down 
[02:10.03]and we get up
[02:12.54]We walk proud 
[02:15.17]and we talk tough
[02:17.77]We got heart 
[02:20.48]and we got nerve
[02:24.03]Even if we are a bit disturbed
