Lyrics Demons Down - House of Lords

In the town that I was born in they said that I was wild
A bad seed born to lose forever
My Daddy used to teach me with the backside of his hand
Oh Lord, I guess he didn′t know better
Leaving was a long long time coming
I don't know now where the courage was found
Cause they said "Boy, you′ll never amount to nothin'"
But oh Lord,
I stared my demons down
I had one hand on the bible another hand on the wheel
And I headed out in search of my horizons
There's just one thing that I know for certain
Growing old don′t make a boy a man
When my time comes and they raise the final curtains
I′ll know I took a stand
I stared my demons
I stared my demons down
Black smoke'll fill up the sky
As mys burn to the ground
I′ll hold my head up high
As I walk right through this town
Don't need no simple minds
Telling me who I am
So I came back to say goodbye
Look ′em in the eyes
And stare my demons down
In the town that I was born in they said that I was wild
Now I'm on the train bound for heaven
