Intro

(The chords aren't actually played here; but I would recommend single strums if

you wish to back it)

I am what I am and I am strong

 Cause I got my land and I got my song

I am what I am and I am belong

 Cause I got my land and I got my song

 Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly

 Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free

 But now theres fussing and theres fighting We all taking sides

 While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide. You see

Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul

 Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole

 But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind

 That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind

 Now the prince of the cowboys, his name was Barnett

 He wanted to leave his mark, you know, so we did not forget

 So he said "Mine mine mine, all for me"

 It's great to be a cowboy in the wild west roaming free

 So he brandished all his bullets he put a gun right to our head

 He said "I'm giving you all a choice now, you're either with me or your dead

 You know I got to have this kim, I cant get her off my mind

 And I aint gonna stop until shes mine, mine"

Where do i stand?

 Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the

sand. It's all gray.

 There are no black and whites so who am I to say

I am what I am and I am strong

 Cause I got my land and I got my song

I am what I am and I am belong

 Cause I got my land and I got my song

 Now its come to a showdown and its all push and pull

 Got these lawyers having field day while the cowboys are funding schools

 I guess it boils down to how you see it, do you see Kimberly,

 Or just another god damn hole in the ground just another opportunity?

Where do i stand?

 Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the

sand. It's all gray.

 There are no black and whites so who am I to say

 You are wrong

 but you never know what you got until its gone

 And one day

 the little people will ask what you did and what we said

I am what I am and I am strong

 Cause I got my land and I got my song

I am what I am and I am belong

 Cause I got my land and I got my song

I am what I am and I am strong

 Cause I got my land and I got my song

I am what I am and I am belong

 Cause I got my land and I got my song
