One Of Those

Are you one of them

Sittin' in the boat tryin' not to rock it?

Or one of them that goes along just to get along

Only change you like?

Is the kind in your blue-jean pocket

Keeps your two cents to yourself

'Till the chance to speak up is gone

Or are you one of those

Don't back down for nothin'?

One of those standing up strong for somethin'?

Walkin' the walk even if you gotta walk it alone

Are you one of those

One of those tough enough not to cave in?

One of those ain't too proud to pray when

Shit hits the fan and the rubber hits the road

You better know before then

If you're gonna be one of them

Or one of those

Too many times I've been

One of them lookin' back regrettin'

(Regrettin', regrettin')

Who didn't do what I knew?

I should have done at the time

Mama used to say

Boy, you're better off over-steppin'

Than winding up one of them

Fenced in when they draw a line

Son, you gotta be

One of those don't back down for nothin'

One of those standing up strong for somethin'

Walkin' the walk even if you gotta walk it alone

Are you one of those?

One of those tough enough not to cave in

One of those ain't too proud to pray when

Shit hits the fan and the rubber hits the road

You better know before then

If you're gonna be one of them

Or one of those

Don't fit, with no crowd

Who won't quit and he won't sell out

One of the few and far betweens

Who don't give a damn what it cost to be

One of those don't back down for nothin'

One of those standing up strong for somethin'

Walkin' the walk even if you gotta walk it alone

Are you one of those

One of those tough enough not to cave in?

One of those ain't too proud to pray when

Shit hits the fan and the rubber hits the road

Yeah, you better know before then

If you're gonna be one of them

Some day when my time ends

I hope they can say that I was one of them

Or one of those
