Montgomery Gentry - Tried and True lyrics

rate me

I was born in a small town

In the hills of Tennessee

Kentucky raised just a country boy

That抯 all I抣l ever be

Daddy ran a steel house

To keep us kids alive

Just doin?what he had to do after momma died

Same people that called him no good

Meet him in the back woods for a little taste

He said I may take your money

But don抰 put yourself above me

Don抰 cut me down as you walk away

慍uz you don抰 know me, you don抰 know who I am

You don抰 know the pain that I抳e been through

So don抰 judge me until you stand where I stand

I don抰 need you or anyone else to approve

慍uz the blood in these veins is tried and true

I left home at 16 with a guitar on my back

Everything I called my own I carried in a paper sack

Spent years of havin?nothin?sleepin?in my car

I抎 drive all day and play all night in the honky tonks and bars

Same people that called me crazy

Said that I抦 too lazy to amount to anything

Are the first ones to the stage

Just beggin for a little taste

Say they knew me when nobody knew my name

But you don抰 know me, you don抰 know who I am

You don抰 know the pain that I抳e been through

So don抰 judge me until you stand where I stand

I don抰 need you or anyone else to approve

Cuz the blood in these veins is tried and true

Same people that called me crazy

Said that I抦 too lazy to amount to anything

Are the first ones to the stage

Just beggin for a little taste

Say they knew me when nobody knew my name

But you don抰 know me, you don抰 know who I am

You don抰 know the pain that I抳e been through

So don抰 judge me until you stand where I stand

I don抰 need you or anyone else to approve

Cuz the blood in these veins is tried and true

Oh the blood in these veins is tried and true.
