Stand Your Ground Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been called a hell-raiser

A honky-tonk trailblazer

A rebel soul for damn near all my life

And when they tried to change me

I never let it phase me

I kept my nose to the grindstone in the barrooms every night



[Pre-Chorus]

I played the old songs

A few of mine

I did it my way, it worked every time



[Chorus]

Don't let no one tell you how to feel

Keep leanin' on what you know is real

If you sing a lie, they're gonna see right through

Thеy'll say they have a crystal ball

But trust me, thеy don't know it all

There ain't no substitution for the truth

Don't ever let them turn your head around

Just stand your ground



[Verse 2]

A friend of mine once told me

"Hoss, they've bought and sold me"

"I think I may have learned a thing or two"

But you just keep on pickin'

'Cause them suits don't buy your tickets

It's the everyday blue-collar folks that do



[Pre-Chorus]

I play the old songs

Some of mine

Still do it my way, it works every time



[Chorus]

So don't let no one tell you how to feel

Keep leanin' on what you know is real

If you sing a lie, they're gonna see right through

They'll say they have a crystal ball

Trust me, they don't know it all

There ain't no substitution for the truth

Don't ever let them turn your head around

Just stand your ground



[Instrumental]



[Chorus]

Yeah, don't let no one tell you how to feel

Keep leanin' on what you know is real

If you sing a lie, they're gonna see right through

They'll say they have a crystal ball

But trust me, they don't know it all

There ain't no substitution for the truth

Don't ever let them turn your head around

Just stand your ground

Just stand your ground

Just stand your ground, yeah-yeah
