And if you asked him he would say
You may not like where I’m going
You may not like where I’m going
Call me wrong, call me right
But you sure know where I stand
My father gave me my shotgun

I hand out my dollars to the homeless

Call me wrong, call me right
Call me wrong, call me right
But I bring my better angels to every fight
That I’ll hand down to my son
But I bring my better angels to every fight
You may not like where I’m going
Hate me if you want to, love me if you can
Looks down here and sees us
But I bring my better angels to every fight

But I worry about what kids learn from TV
Hate me if you want to, love me if you can
And before all of the bettin' turns to angry words and hate

But believe that every able soul should work
I’m a man of my convictions
But you sure know where I stand

Hate me if you want to, love me if you can
I’m a man of my convictions

Sometimes we should just agree to disagree
And I believe that Jesus
I’m a man of my convictions
But you sure know where I stand
Try to teach him everything it means
I stand by my right to speak freely
