What I'm For

Writers: MARC BEESON, ALLEN SHAMBLIN

I'M FOR WILDFLOWERS IN THE WINDOW
MECHANICS YOU CAN TRUST
I'M FOR CRACKERS IN MY CHILI
AND LEAVIN' GRUDGES IN THE DUST
I'M FOR DRIVE THROUGH ORDER TAKERS
WHO CAN MUSTER UP A SMILE
I'M FOR LETTIN' WALMART GREETERS
SIT DOWN FOR AWHILE

I'M FOR TURNING OFF THE TV
GETTING' OFF THE INTERNET
I'M FOR LEARNING ALL THE WORDS
TO THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS

I'M FOR DUSTY PAWNSHOP GUITARS
AND BOXERS PAST THEIR PRIME
I'M FOR SOAKIN' UP THE WISDOM
WHEN AN OLD MAN SPEAKS HIS MIND
I'M FOR LAID OFF FACTORY WORKERS
WHEN THE WOLF IS AT THE DOOR
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GUESS WHAT I'M AGAINST
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M FOR

I'M FOR TEXAS MARGARITAS
AND GETTING' OUT OF DEBT
I'M FOR HAVING FAITH IN SOMETHING
THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET
I'M FOR THE SHY KID IN THE CORNER
SCARED TO ASK A GIRL TO DANCE
FOR THE EX-CON OUT OF PRISON
WHO JUST WANTS A SECOND CHANCE

I'M FOR THE INNER CITY TEACHER
WITH HER HEART STUCK IN HER THROAT
WHO CAN STILL SEE GOD IN EVERY CHILD
AND NEVER GIVES UP HOPE




I'M FOR DUSTY PAWNSHOP GUITARS
AND BOXERS PAST THEIR PRIME
I'M FOR SOAKIN' UP THE WISDOM
WHEN AN OLD MAN SPEAKS HIS MIND
I'M FOR LAID OFF FACTORY WORKERS
WHEN THE WOLF IS AT THE DOOR
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GUESS WHAT I'M AGAINST
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M FOR

I'M FOR TAKIN' CARE OF SOLDIERS
WHEN THEY COME BACK FROM WAR
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GUESS WHAT I'M AGAINST
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M FOR
