I ain't the poster boy you made me
You won't ever chain me down
I've been to heaven and I've been to hell
And I've been livin' underground
You want me to be the man
You know I never wanna be
Everybody changes with the wind
Set my spirit free
Just let me tell you where I should not go
We stand together in a one-man show
And need somebody to hold me
When the night is long
I am the man who does it all or nothing
I am the one who will not fade away
I will be standin' with my hand in the fire
Bein' forever young
Back where I belong
Singing a home truth song
Singing a home truth song
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
It's always been that way
This runaway train keeps on rollin'
Someone gotta pay
I take what my God has given me
I can't tell you why
There must be a reason for livin'
Sometimes I'd rather die
There's a storm on the ocean at the river's end
I won't be lonely, it's my only friend
I need somebody to hold me
When it all goes wrong
I am the man who does it all or nothin'
I am the one who will not fade away
I will be standin' with my hand in the fire
Bein' forever young
Back where I belong
Singin' a home truth song
Singin' a home truth song
I ain't the poster boy you made me
You won't ever chain me down
I've been to heaven and I've been to hell
And I've been livin' underground
You want me to be the man
You know I never wanna be
Everybody changes with the wind
Set my spirit free
I am the man who does it all or nothing
I am the one who will not fade away
I will be standin' with my hand in the fire
Bein' forever young
Back where I belong
Singing a home truth song
A home truth song
A home truth song
