Song for the Indy film "Unholy Reunion" about a psychotic painter who thinks he is making the world a better place.
While shooting the film I picked up a guitar and it just came out that way.
Well they packed up my stuff and they put it away
Took my money for a rainy day and I headed on out to the court house all alone
I had my reasons for the things I'd done
They dressed me up in the blazin' sun and they put me on a bus to take me to my new home.
CHORUS
And if the whole world starts pushing on me
I won't back down
And if the earth starts crumbling beneath my feet
Well I'll Stand My Ground
My hearts been broken a million times
My life's been twisted by a world of lies and everyone around me thinks that I am wrong
I hope some day they realize
The beauty that I tried for make for their eyes and understand all the things I've done
Chorus
End
Well they packed up my stuff and they put it away
Took my money for a rainy day, and I headed on out to the jail all alone
