Joe Michaels - Some Things Never Change

I was born down by the river where the water turns to mud
To a family full of violence and a legacy of blood
People don't come knockin' cause of my last name
Like my daddy and his daddy before him, some things never change
My kin-folk took many a life to try to keep this land
Legend says under that oak lies a banker man
Don't come sniffin' round these hills you might end up the same
Like my daddy and his daddy before him, some things never change
What I grow pays my bills ya know I ain't ashamed
Some folks say I'm just plain mean, some say I'm insane
A low-life redneck plain white trash who's twisted and deranged
Like my daddy and his daddy before him, some things never change
You pick the devil you run with, mine helps me survive
Between the plants upon the hill and a little bit of shine
If you use what I sell don't lay me with your blame
You're like your daddy and his daddy before him, some things never change
What I grow pays my bills ya know I ain't ashamed
Some folks say I'm just plain mean, some say I'm insane
A low-life redneck plain white trash who's twisted and deranged
Like my daddy and his daddy before him, some things never change
I ain't got much to leave my sons, just memories and my bad name
And a legacy of all this blood cause some things never change
What I grow pays my bills ya know I ain't ashamed
Some folks say I'm just plain mean, some say I'm insane
A low-life redneck plain white trash who's twisted and deranged
Like my daddy and his daddy before him, some things never change
Like my daddy and his daddy before him, some things never change
