My Photograph
I look at pictures of myself, but I can't see who I am
I see a mud stain on my white T-shirt and a blood stain on my hand
I'm a fighter, I'm a lover, but I don't know where I stand
Somewhere between bad and good I'm a not so simple man
When you look in my direction do you see through my disguise
Do you see all the good I've done, do you see pain in my eyes?
I just wanna see myself, I just wanna realize
I just wanna hold this photograph and see smiles without the cries
So I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
I got nothing in my pocket but I'm working overtime
So if I'm stranded on the road, and I'm searching out to find
I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
I never listen to the critics, I'm living without a limit
I'm doing just how I wanted that picture is now a goner
My honor is only stronger from the pain that I've slaughtered
I wrote it down inside a notebook and I sold it for a dollar
I can never take back
Funny how it all plays back to that old dirt track
Where I had my first kiss and I made a fist pack
For the future of myself that would knock me on my ass
Now I'm singing for the moment, living for the day
Trying to make a living so my son ain't left afraid
Momma's at home and her bills are all paid
My girl ain't at her job making minimum wage
And I can finally take a breath look my father in the eyes
And my brother's super proud, got my sister's in my life
I can never complain again
I can never complain again
So I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
I got nothing in my pocket but I'm working overtime
So if I'm stranded on the road, and I'm searching out to find
I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
So I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
I got nothing in my pocket but I'm working overtime
So if I'm stranded on the road, and I'm searching out to find
I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
I see a mud stain on my white T-shirt and a blood stain on my hand
I'm a fighter, I'm a lover, but I don't know where I stand
Somewhere between bad and good I'm a not so simple man
When you look in my direction do you see through my disguise
Do you see all the good I've done, do you see pain in my eyes?
I just wanna see myself, I just wanna realize
I just wanna hold this photograph and see smiles without the cries
So I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
I got nothing in my pocket but I'm working overtime
So if I'm stranded on the road, and I'm searching out to find
I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
I never listen to the critics, I'm living without a limit
I'm doing just how I wanted that picture is now a goner
My honor is only stronger from the pain that I've slaughtered
I wrote it down inside a notebook and I sold it for a dollar

So if I'm stranded on the road, and I'm searching out to find
I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
So I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
I got nothing in my pocket but I'm working overtime
So if I'm stranded on the road, and I'm searching out to find
I'm standing on the world and I'm holding on to mine
