I Stand Alone
(Jackson Spires)
Now I've been workin' hard for so many years
Just tryin' to get myself by
Can't talk to people you don't know
That's why some of you die
Well, I live so hard and I learn so well
Just to push myself along
But if you're born to Rock & Roll, you should know
I've drank 'shine from a Mason jar
To pass my time away
Set my sights on a distant star
'Cause I wanted it that way
I learned to read and write, sing and fight
And all those other things
I'm gonna Rock & Roll, baby,
For you tonight
I'm comin' home
Lord, don't you know
When the wind it blows
I was born to Rock & Roll
I'm on my way to see Mr. "J.J."
To tell of things that I've seen
To show him, baby, that I got more
Moves than your local Cajun Queen
Can't talk to people that you don't know
That's why some of you die
But if you're born to Rock & Roll
Then you should know
I'm comin' home
Lord, don't you know
When the wind it blows
I was born to Rock & Roll
I was born to Rock & Roll
I was born to Rock & Roll

We recommend: A Long Walk
Hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Do what you want with me
Hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime and torture my night
If my life were important I
Would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me
Keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For I know I shall find
My own peace of mind
For I have been promised a land of my own
Just give me a number
Instead of my name
Forget all about me and let me decay<
