Chris Blake - I've Been Told Lyrics

I've been told
"You won't amount to much"
"You won't make it far in life"
"Just look where you come from"
And I've been told
"Just give up on those dreams"
"A guy like you don't stand a chance"
"At bein' anything"

But I tell myself
To just stay strong
Keep playin' my songs
And prove them wrong
No, I ain't scared
Of no broken bones
And I sure don't give a damn
About your sticks and stones

I've been told
"Just put that six-string down"
"The only tool you'll need is a hammer"
"In this no-name town"
And I've been told
"You won't sell out any shows"
"The biggest crowd you'll have is at your funeral"
"Still some won't go"

But I tell myself
To just stay strong
Keep playin' my songs
And prove them wrong
No, I ain't scared
Of no broken bones
And I sure don't give a damn
About your sticks and stones

I just wanna thank the ones
That kept me goin' strong
The ones that sing along
When I play my songs
If it wasn't for you
I couldn't prove them wrong
Yeah, we're gonna start a fire
With their sticks and stones

No, I don't give a damn
About their sticks and stones
