Right here right now where I am
I am here to take a stand
Tell you things that I am for
And those that I'm against

I'm here for a Sweet Southern breeze
Blowing through Magnolia trees
On a hot humid summer day
Down around Alabama way

And you can bet that I'm against
Things in life that make no sense
Like the ladder that some men climb
All the while leaving others behind

I am for a piece of land
With a pond filled to the gill with loads of brim
Where I can enjoy the day at hand
With an old hound dog as my best friend

Then again, I am against
Any property that has a fence
Built as much to kept things out
As it is to keep things in

I am for holding hands
And if you get the chance to dance
That you should take that chance
Before there are no chances left

I'm against the big city life
Where everywhere you turn you find
Dull gray slabs of thick concrete
Up above and below your feet

I could go at this for awhile
But I'll have to let it go for now
Just letting you know where I stand
And a few things I stand against
