Lyrics

A mouth full of blood, one eye swolled shut
I mustered up one last punch 'fore I bit the dust
He was the biggest dog in that fight
But he picked on me for the last time
And I spent the night icin' down my pride
Everyone in the whole 8th grade said I lost that fight that day
It was only him and me who knew about my victory

Chorus:
Comes a time when a mans gotta know where he stands
Gotta go with his heart, lick his wounds or let him rip his scars
Give all you can give, my blues might win
Like that boy that became a man that day
I'm fine either way

The walls are bare
There's an inch of dust on a broken frame
Picture perfect once til she gave up
I loved that girl with all I had
For better or worse all when bad and that was that
Naw she ain't looked back
She couldn't live with what I couldn't be
But I've learned to live with me
There's some things I didn't do right
But I'm gonna sleep fine tonight

Chorus:
Comes a time when a mans gotta know where he stands
Gotta go with his heart, lick his wounds or let him rip his scars
Give all you can give, my blues might win
She might stay gone she might come home today
I'm fine either way

I plant my feet and you can bet my mind ain't gonna change
My best friends and my enemies wouldn't hesitate to say
I'm one of those guys you either love or you hate
I'm fine either way (repeat 2x)
I'm fine
