shootin’ b.b.’s at old beer cans <br />
chokin’ on the smoke from a lucky strike <br />
someone lifted off of his old man <br />
we were football flunkies <br />
rock and roll junkies <br />
crackin’ up the stereos <br />
singin’ loud and proud to gimme three steps <br />
and that old time rock and roll <br />
<br />
we got some discount knowledge at the junior college <br />
where we majored in beer and girls <br />
it was all real funny ‘til we ran out of money <br />
and they threw us out into the world <br />
yeah the kids that thought they’d run this town <br />
ain’t runnin' much of anything <br />
we’re just lovin’ and laughin’ <br />
and bustin’ our asses <br />
and we call it all livin’ the dream <br />
<br />
chorus <br />
<br />
these are my people <br />
this is where i come from <br />
we’re givin’ this life everything we’ve got and then some <br />
it ain’t always pretty <br />
but it’s real <br />
that’s the way we were made <br />
wouldn’t have it any other way <br />
these are my people <br />
<br />
well we take it all week on the chin with a grin <br />
till we make it to a friday night <br />
and it’s church league softball holler ‘bout a bad call <br />
preacher breakin’ up the fight <br />
then later on at the green light tavern <br />
well everybody’s gatherin’ as friends <br />
and the beer is pourin’ till monday mornin’ <br />
where we start all over again <br />
<br />
chorus <br />
<br />
we fall down and we get up <br />
we walk proud and we talk tough <br />
we got heart and we got nerve <br />
even if we are a bit disturbed <br />
<br />
chorus<br />
<br />
these are my people <br />
this is where i come from <br />
we’re givin’ this life everything we’ve got and then some <br />
it ain’t always pretty <br />
but it’s real <br />
that’s the way we were made <br />
wouldn’t have it any other way <br />
these are my people
