They say it takes more now
To do what our Mom & Daddy's did
They made it look so easy
Working hard and raising kids
If you get in trouble at school
You got in trouble at home
You can't outrun mommas wooden spoon
Or the principles telephone
Raise your hand if you only had
Three channels on TV
And that little town
That kept you down
Is where you want to be
Yeah I'm one of you
Yeah I'm one of you
No your not by yourself
There's somebody else
Who's been there too
If you still wish you still had
Some growing up to do
Your one of me
And I'm one of you
Tell the truth
Do you still wonder
How fast your car will go
When Sweet Home Alabama
Comes on the radio
I bet Jesus, and your momma
Now their way up there
On your mind
Anytime you take a sip
Or you walk across the line
If you understand why your old man
Said the whole worlds gone to hell
But you still believe the American Dream
Is alive and well
I'm one of you
Yeah I'm one of you
No your not by yourself
There's somebody here
Who's been there too
I know what ya thinking
What ya drink
And I know why you do
Your one of me
Yeah and I'm one of you
Do you feel a little bit
Out of touch
Or politically incorrect
Then you and me both agree
What did you expect
I'm one of you
Yeah I'm one of you
No, No your not by yourself
There's somebody else
Who's been there too
I know what you think
About the good 'ol
Red, White, and Blue
Your one of me
And I'm one of you
Your one of me
And I'm one of you
