William's Son Chris Knight
One shot from th[D]e lawman's gun
My [F]father paid for the [C]things he [D]done
[D]Momma got old when she was 31
I [F]was born alone I'm [C]William's [D]son
[D]Back and forth to the foster home
Till [F]I figured out I was better [C]off al[D]one
[D]I hold my head high when I walk these streets
Get [F]suspicious looks from the [C]people I [D]meet
Chorus:
I'll [D]spit in your eye and stand my ground
Just to [F]keep my head from [C]hangin [D]down
[D]Ain't gonna hide and I ain't gonna run
Hell [F]ya'll know me I'm [C]William's [D]son
Verse 2:
[D]I know it ain't right to feel this way
But [F]I'm kinda glad my dad [C]got blown [D]away
[D]I know he grew up hard and he grew up mean
But [F]me and my sister was [C]not to [D]blame
Chorus:
I'll [D]spit in your eye and stand my ground
Just to [F]keep my head from [C]hangin [D]down
[D]Ain't gonna hide and I ain't gonna run
Hell [F]ya'll know me I'm [C]William's [D]son
Verse 3:
[D]Some days I can see some hope
I've [F]never been to jail and I [C]don't do [D]dope
[D]But every now and then I kneel and pray
That [F]things'll get better [C]one of these [D]days
Chorus: x2
I'll [D]spit in your eye and stand my ground
Just to [F]keep my head from [C]hangin [D]down
[D]Ain't gonna hide and I ain't gonna run
Hell [F]ya'll know me I'm [C]William's [D]son
[F]Ya'll know me I'm [C]William's [D]son
