William's son
By: Chris knight
Tuning: Drop D
Capo II
[Verse 1]
D
One shot from the lawman's gun
F C D
My father paid for the things he done
D
Momma got old when she was 31
F C D
I was born alone I’m William’s son
D
Back and forth to the foster home
F C D
Till I figured out I was better off alone
D
I hold my head high when I walk these streets
F C D
Get suspicious looks from the people I meet
[Chorus]
D
I’ll spit in your eye and stand my ground
F C D
Just to keep my head from hangin down
D
Ain’t gonna hide and I ain’t gonna run
F C D
Hell ya'll know me I’m William’s son
[Verse 2]
D
I know it ain’t right to feel this way
F C D
But I’m kinda glad my dad got blown away
D
I know he grew up hard and he grew up mean
F C D
But me and my sister was not to blame
[Chorus]
D
I’ll spit in your eye and stand my ground
F C D
Just to keep my head from hangin down
D
Ain’t gonna hide and I ain’t gonna run
F C D
Hell ya'll know me I’m William’s son
[Verse 3]
D
Some days I can see some hope
F C D
I’ve never been to jail and I don’t do dope
D
But every now and then I kneel and pray
F C D
That things’ll get better one of these days
[Chorus]
D
I’ll spit in your eye and stand my ground
F C D
Just to keep my head from hangin down
D
Ain’t gonna hide and I ain’t gonna run
F C D
Hell ya'll know me I’m William’s son
F C D
Ya'll know me I’m William’s son
D
I’ll spit in your eye and stand my ground
F C D
Just to keep my head from hangin down
D
Ain’t gonna hide and I ain’t gonna run
F C D
Hell ya'll know me I’m William’s son
F C D
Ya'll know me I’m William’s son
