What I'm For

This is Pat Green's new song and I really like the message of the song...

Pat Green: "What I'm For"

I'm for wildflowers in the window, 
Mechanics you can trust 
I'm for crackers in my chili 
And leaving grudges in the dust 

I'm for drive-thru order takers 
Who can muster up a smile 
I'm for taking in that stray dog 
That's been hangin 'round a while 

I'm for turning off the TV, 
And getting off the internet 
I'm for learning all the words to the Gettysburg Address 

I'm for dusty Pawn Shop guitars 
And Boxers past their prime 
I'm for soaking 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 of debt 
I'm for having faith in something 
That hasn't happened yet 

I'm for the shy kid in the corner 
'Fraid to ask the girl to dance 
I'm for the ex-con outta prison 
Who just wants a second chance 

I'm for the inner-city teacher 
With a heart stuck in her throat 
Who can still see God in every child 
Who never gives up hope 

I'm for dusty Pawn Shop guitars 
And Boxers past their prime 
I'm for soaking up the wisdom 
When an old man speaks his mind 

I'm for Detroit 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 a-counting all my blessings 
When the wolf is at my door
You don't have to ask what I'm against 

YEAH 

You don't have to guess what I'm against 
If you know what I'm for...
