Face Like Mine Songtext
Got a daddy named Country and a coal mine mama
I was raised up playin′ in the corn
They taught me how to praise God, didn't spare the rod
Been prayin′ since the day I was born
I got a rodeo uncle, wore a ten-gallon hat
Taught me how to rope and a-ride bareback
Got a lifted-up truck and a run-down shack
If I wasn't so me, I'd be called white trash
Why do you look so surprised?
I was raised up playin′ in the corn
They taught me how to praise God, didn't spare the rod
Been prayin′ since the day I was born
I got a rodeo uncle, wore a ten-gallon hat
Taught me how to rope and a-ride bareback
Got a lifted-up truck and a run-down shack
If I wasn't so me, I'd be called white trash
Why do you look so surprised?
Why′s it gotta be so black and white?
You′re lookin' at me like it don′t sound right (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Comin' from a face like, face like mine
Comin′ from a face like mine
No matter what you say, I'm American-made
I ain′t never been to Africa
But I been to the city, got jumped in Indy
'Cause I didn't talk Black enough
Martin Luther King had a big ol′ dream
And nobody knows it better than me
Now the white liberal woman tryin′ to tell me
That I'm livin′ on the wrong side of history
Why do you look so surprised?
Why's it gotta be so black and white?
You′re lookin' at me like it don′t sound right (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Comin' from a face like, face like mine
Comin' from a face like mine
If I wasn′t so me, I′d be called white trash (face like mine)
Got a rodeo uncle, wore a ten-gallon hat (face like mine)
Martin Luther King had a big ol' dream (ay)
Face like mine
Why do you look so surprised?
Why′s it gotta be so black and white?
You're lookin′ at me like it don't sound right (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Comin′ from a face like, race like
A face like mine
Comin' from a face like mine
You′re lookin' at me like it don′t sound right (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Comin' from a face like, face like mine
Comin′ from a face like mine
No matter what you say, I'm American-made
I ain′t never been to Africa
But I been to the city, got jumped in Indy
'Cause I didn't talk Black enough
Martin Luther King had a big ol′ dream
And nobody knows it better than me
Now the white liberal woman tryin′ to tell me
That I'm livin′ on the wrong side of history
Why do you look so surprised?
Why's it gotta be so black and white?
You′re lookin' at me like it don′t sound right (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Comin' from a face like, face like mine
Comin' from a face like mine
If I wasn′t so me, I′d be called white trash (face like mine)
Got a rodeo uncle, wore a ten-gallon hat (face like mine)
Martin Luther King had a big ol' dream (ay)
Face like mine
Why do you look so surprised?
Why′s it gotta be so black and white?
You're lookin′ at me like it don't sound right (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Comin′ from a face like, race like
A face like mine
Comin' from a face like mine
