Honest Fight

I know a place

That ain't too far from here

Where you can disappear

Any old time

And the town

Where I'm comin' from

They want me to pay for what they say I've done

What have I done

'Cept stand up for myself

When I didn't have anybody else?

What have I seen

Of an honest fight?

I'm just doin' what I think is right

Where I come from

We lived down Old Port Road

A place you wouldn't know

Unless you knew

Now I'm a man

Almost a fugitive

Oh but how I've lived by my own rules

What have I done

'Cept stand up for myself

When I didn't have anybody else?

What have I seen

Of an honest fight?

I'm just doin' what I think is right

I know folks got

Their ways of doin' things

Live where the low fruit hangs

That's how it is

I can still see

My mother's hard-earned tears

Across the years in my mind

What have I done

'Cept stand up for myself

When I didn't have anybody else?

What have I seen

Of an honest fight?

I'm just doin' what I think is right
