House Of Lords - Down,Down,Down

In the town that I was born in they said that I was wild A bad seed born to lose forever My Daddy used to teach me with the backside of his hand Oh Lord, I guess he didn't know better Leaving was a long long time coming I don't know now where the courage was found Cause they said "Boy, you'll never amount to nothin'" But oh Lord, I stared my demons down I had one hand on the bible another hand on the wheel And I headed out in search of my horizons There's just one thing that I know for certain Growing old don't make a boy a man When my time comes and they raise the final curtains I'll know I took a stand I stared my demons I stared my demons down Black smoke'll fill up the sky As my bridges burn to the ground I'll hold my head up high As I walk right through this town Don't need no simple minds Telling me who I am So I came back to say goodbye Look 'em in the eyes And stare my demons down In the town that I was born in they said that I was wild Now I'm on the train bound for heaven
