I'm One of You

They say it takes more now

To do what our Mom and Daddy's did

They made it look so easy

Working hard and raising kids

If you get in trouble at school

You got in trouble at home

You can't outrun momma's wooden spoon

Or the principal's telephone

Raise your hand if you only had

Three channels on TV

And that little town that kept you down

Is where you wanna be

Yeah, I'm one of you

Yeah, I'm one of you

No you're not by yourself

There's somebody else

Who's been there too

If you still wish you still had

Some growing up to do

You're one of me

And I'm one of you

Tell the truth

Do you still wonder

How fast your car will go

When Sweet Home Alabama

Comes on the radio

I bet Jesus and your momma

Now they're way up there, on your mind

Anytime you take a sip

Or you walk across the line

If you understand why your old man

Said, "The whole world's gone to hell"

But you still believe the American Dream

Is alive and well

I'm one of you

Yeah, I'm one of you

No you're not by yourself

There's somebody here

Who's been there too

I know what ya thinking, what ya drink

And I know why you do

You're one of me

Yeah, and I'm one of you

Do you feel a little bit out of touch

Or politically incorrect

Then you and me both agree

What did you expect

I'm one of you

Yeah, I'm one of you

No, no you're not by yourself

There's somebody else

Who's been there too

I know what you think

About the good old red, white and blue

You're one of me and I'm one of you

You're one of me and I'm one of you
