I ain't the poster boy you made me 
You won't ever chain me down
I've been to heaven and I've been to hell 
And I've been livin' underground 

You want me to be the man 
You know I never wanna be
Everybody changes with the wind 
Set my spirit free 

Let me tell me where I should not go
Off together in a one-man show 
I need somebody to hold me when the night is long 

I am the man who does it all or nothing
I am the one who will not fade away
I am the man who puts his hand in the fire
Bein' forever young

Back where I belong
Singing a home truth song 
Singing a home truth song 

With the weight of the world on my shoulders 
Always been that way 
This runaway train keeps on rollin'
Someone gotta pay 
I take what my God has given me
I can't tell you why
There must be a reason for livin'
Sometimes I'd rather die

With a storm on the ocean at the river's end
I won't be lonely, it's my only friend 
I need somebody to hold me when it all goes wrong

I am the one who does it all or nothin'
I am the one who will not fade away
I will be standin' with my hand in the fire 
Bein' forever young
Back where I belong 
Singin' a home truth song
Singin' a home truth song 

I ain't the poster boy you made me 
You won't ever chain me down
I've been to heaven and I've been to hell
And I've been livin' underground
You want me to be the man 
You know I never wanna be 
Everybody changes with the wind
Set my spirit free 

I am the man who does it all or nothing
I am the one who will not fade away 
I will be standin' with my hand in the fire
Bein' forever young
Back where I belong
Singin' a home truth song
Singin' a home truth song
