[00:13.69]Way back in Alabama where the dirt roads
[00:15.84]Cut through the woods
[00:16.84]And when it rains
[00:17.68]You can smell the steam off the grass
[00:19.18]Even dew on the hood
[00:20.31]Of my paw paw's 1985 Chevrolet Silverado
[00:23.25]I must have been about six
[00:25.38]Life was so easy back in the sticks
[00:27.70]16 year old mother fought for the life
[00:29.78]She wanted for her son
[00:30.89]Lookin' for love in the world of rock
[00:32.91]And roll is where it begun
[00:34.44]It was Alabama, Ted Nugent
[00:36.18]Alice Cooper, Randy Travis
[00:37.83]Aerosmith kept my stepdaddy on the road
[00:40.02]And life, it was madness
[00:41.36]******* and alcohol
[00:42.58]Filled up the house party to be frank
[00:44.67]It wasn't too long before I tried it myself
[00:46.96]And then started to drink
[00:48.21]School became boring
[00:49.48]And doing my homework became rollin' joints
[00:51.84]Now I'm sixteen like my mama was
[00:53.56]When she had a little boy
[00:55.16]Can't imagine it now as I look back
[00:57.44]'Cause I got three kids of my own
[00:58.97]And I respect what she went through
[01:00.49]To pay for food and clothes
[01:01.92]And her home
[01:02.88]'Cause it ain't what she did
[01:04.15]It's what she didn't do for me
[01:05.65]That brought me to this moment
[01:06.94]And made me who I am on this recording
[01:09.03]And this is my story (This is my story)
[01:12.83]This is my glory
[01:16.01]This is what keeps me alive
[01:22.16]This is me flying
[01:26.69]This is me trying
[01:29.98]This is what keeps me alive
[01:35.84]20 years old in the streets
[01:38.28]And I'm rollin' with gangsters now
[01:40.26]Hip-hop is takin' over me, my language
[01:42.51]My clothes, my lifestyle
[01:44.08]Antioch, Tennessee
[01:45.62]Put me through the school of hard knocks
[01:47.45]And I carry that attitude with me to this day
[01:50.03]More or not
[01:51.03]And I'm young and hot-headed
[01:52.55]Always running from police and skateboardin'
[01:54.97]Graffiti, loiterin'
[01:56.09]I sorta got my peace from the chaos
[01:58.45]Was no "mother-may-I's," surrounded by have-nots
[02:02.10]And maybe some day I's well
[02:04.06]I was against the grain
[02:05.48]Even when I was growin' wheat
[02:07.11]Got back into rock and roll
[02:08.75]And then got into poetry
[02:10.49]Started expressin' everything
[02:12.11]I could through the medium of pen and pad
[02:14.37]Playin' instrumentals off a tape
[02:16.18]And then over-dubbin' what I had
[02:17.96]It was everything, because I had nothin'
[02:20.58]And man that was alright, 'cause now I had somethin'
[02:24.49]Little did I know that would be the hardest thing to do
[02:27.13]God ever put before me
[02:28.50]So I took a look at what I've been through
[02:30.75]And I made it my glory, and this is
[02:32.74]This is my story
[02:35.81]This is my glory
[02:39.16]This is what keeps me alive
[02:44.83]This is me flying
[02:49.71]This is me trying
[02:53.07]This is what keeps me alive
[02:59.07]It's a 2 AM bus 'craw
[03:01.07]From me at the parkin' lot of Wal-Mart
[03:03.23]Leavin' Nashville, Tennessee for a nationwide tour
[03:06.46]My bags are all packed
[03:07.86]And I'm loadin' my truck to go meet the crew
[03:10.05]And I'm excited to get on the road
[03:11.78]Already one foot out the door
[03:13.58]Turn around and it's my daughter, she's cryin'
[03:15.88]'Cause daddy is leavin'
[03:17.11]Knows that I'll be gone for months
[03:18.72]And it hurts and I hate to see it
[03:20.65]Kneel down and tell her
[03:21.81]Look, baby, I promise I'll call you everyday
[03:24.16]And daddy will sing you prayers
[03:25.82]From everywhere that we go play
[03:27.48]But that's not enough
[03:28.64]And it's breakin' my heart in two
[03:30.10]Just knowin' I can't stay
[03:31.76]Not even to see it through
[03:33.56]And that I can't tuck her in
[03:35.33]To say goodbye with a grin
[03:37.23]Now she's bein' left behind
[03:38.92]This is me all over again, man
[03:41.31]I picked her up in my arms and held her tight
[03:43.57]And said, Hey you know what
[03:44.89]Daddy used to be just like you
[03:46.59]When I would walk up to the bus
[03:48.34]And I'd do anything in the world for you
[03:50.54]So chase your dreams
[03:51.84]One day you'll use everything you've been through
[03:53.82]To be anything, baby girl
[03:55.49]This is my story (This is my story)
[03:58.42]This is my glory
[04:02.27]This is what keeps me alive
[04:08.42]This is me flying
[04:12.83]This is me trying
[04:16.16]This is what keeps me alive
