Tried And True Lyrics - Carrying On - Montgomery Gentry

I was born in a small town in the hills of Tennessee 

Kentucky raised, just a country boy and that's all I'll ever be 

My daddy ran a still house to keep us kids alive 

Just doin' what he had to do after mama died 

The same people that called him no good 

Would meet him in the back woods for a little taste 

He said, ''I may take your money but don't put yourself above me'' 

Don't cut me down as you walk away 

You don't know me, you don't know who I am 

You don't know the pain that I've been through 

So don't judge me till you stand where I stand 

I don't need you or anyone else to approve 

'Cause the blood in these veins is tried and true

I left home at sixteen with a guitar on my back 

With everything I called my own I carried in a paper sack 

Spent years of havin' nothin' and sleepin' in my car 

I'd drive all day and play all night 

In the honky tonks and bars 

The same people that called me crazy 

Said I'm too lazy to amount to anything 

Are the first ones to the stage just beggin' for a little taste 

Who say you knew me when nobody knew my name but 

You don't know me you don't know who I am 

You don't know the pain that I've been through 

So don't judge me till you stand where I stand 

I don't need you or anyone else to approve 

'Cause the blood in these veins is tried and true 

The same people that called me crazy 

Said I'm too lazy to amount to anything 

Are the first ones to the stage just beggin' for a little taste 

Who say you knew me when nobody knew my name but

You don't know me you don't know who I am

'Cause the blood in these veins is tried and true 

The blood in these veins is tried and true
