It was a day to remember, twice as hard   As long   That was the day that I convinced myself   That I found my god      I tip my cap and I step up   I fix myself to the right   I move right into the firing zone   And I scream drink or fight   It's just a matter of respect   Or is that something I missed   This ain't no peace train that you are   Jumping on   So shake my hand and shake it strong   And everybody come along      Long, strong (am I)      Sometimes I can't stop the shaking   At least I know I'm not dead   I don't remember whose blood this is   I've got a hammer inside my head      I get put up, I get put down   And I don't even try   I've burned a bridge, I've burned a   Whole town   Cause I'm fortified   I tell the truth or just gilded lie   And then I charge like a bull with his   Balls tied      A heavy dose of reality   With a side of piss & vinegar   A free drink at the bar and you'll take it      A swift kick in the ass and you'll take it
