I am from Sunday morning church,where we did not go,
being born to the idea of freedom and rock and roll...

I am from speakers in the house blaring Kid Rock-
Vibrating the house as his music made the demons in us come out.

I am from two wheeled beasts rubber hitting the road.
Any one who threatens us will get knocked out cold...

I am from late nights in the shop.
Taught to never stop running from the cops.

I am from Watertown born and raised.
Many bars in a single town made every one deranged...

I am from hanging with buddies and gooning around.
Always riding our bikes around town.

I am from growing up in a typical ranch home,
Working until your knuckles are bare bone...

I am from new beginnings and different changes,
With this new place I’m regaining my saneness.

I am from getting my morals straight by moving to a different town.
Wishing dead relatives could see me now…
