One Of Those

[Verse 1]
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?
The only change you like is the kind in your blue-jean pocket
Keeps your two cents to yourself 'til the chance to speak up is gone

[Chorus]
Or are you one of those don't back down for nothin'?
One of those standin' 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

[Verse 2]
Too many times I've been one of them lookin' back, regrettin'
Who didn't do what I knew I shoulda done at the time
Yeah, Mama used to say, "Boy, you're better off over steppin
Than windin' up one of them fenced in when they draw a line
Son, you gotta be"

[Chorus]
One of those don't back down for nothin'
One of those standin' 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

[Bridge]
Don't fit in no crowd
Who won't quit and he won't sell out
One of the few and the far betweens
Who don't give a damn what it cost to be

[Chorus]
One of those don't back down for nothin'
One of those standin' 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
Yeah, someday, when my time ends
Hope they can say I was one of them
One of those
