Honest Fight

I know a place
That ain't too far from here
Where you can disappear in the old time
And the town where I'm coming from
They want me to pay for what they say I've done

What have I done?
'Cept stand up for myself
When I didn't have anybody else
What have I seen?
Of an honest fight
I'm just doing what I think is right

Where I come from
We live down old port road
A place you wouldn't know
Unless you knew how I'm a man
Almost a fugitive
Oh, but how I've lived by my own rules

What have I done?
'Cept stand up for myself
Whеn I didn't have anybody else
What havе I seen?
Of an honest fight
I'm just doing what I think is right

I know folks got their ways of doing things
Live where the low fruit hangs
That's how it is
I can still see my mother's hard-earned tears
Across the years in my mind

What have I done?
'Cept stand up for myself
When I didn't have anybody else
What have I seen?
Of an honest fight
I'm just doing what I think is right
