john lucas - throw the first punch lyrics

[verse 1]
man i spent so long tryna prove myself
but you can’t please everyone
and a man’s gotta look his own self in the eye
before his days are done

[verse 2]
and i’ve read the good book
for twenty+five years, man
but everybody holds it different
and how’s a man to hear
when cheap talk is so loud
and the holy ghost gets to whisperin’?

[verse 3]
man the church signs say they’ve all got the truth
but one man’s truth is another man’s lie
and if your love loving god
sounds like an angry drunk
have you ever stopped to ask why?

[chorus]
oh if your good book
tells you to throw the first punch
then go ahead, honey, and swing
yeah if your good book
tells you to throw the first punch
then go ahead, honey, and swing
and i’ll turn the other cheek
and i’l keep walking
and i’ll turn the other cheek
and i’l keep walking
[verse 4]
yeah i’ve walked a few miles
i’ve seen a couple towns
but i ain’t got a place to call my own
and maybe it’s funny, but by holding no deeds
this whole world becomes my home

[verse 5]
i was born in the bible belt
east the mississippi
and i moved to the hills when i was young
you gotta travel light when you’re living on your feet
but i ain’t ever left my mother+tongue

[verse 6]
i’ve found love in the river, and love in the hills
and love in the mystery of the night
and if i’m aiming for h+ll like you say in my roaming
then i welcome the fires without a fight
oh i welcome the first without a fight, yeah

[chorus]
oh if your good book
says this is your land
well then i ain’t gonna argue the point
yeah if your good book
says this is your land
well then i ain’t gonna argue the point
and jesus and i will wander on someplace else
oh jesus and i will wander on someplace else
