Cory Morrow - In Spite of Spite lyrics

You gave me your world when
I was 12 years old
I learned to carry that load
All I ask in return Lord
Is not a long and winding road
Took some teasin' when I was young
You know them kids threw sticks and stones
I had to learn to bite my tongue
'Cause you said they could never know

Sometimes I wanna smoke and play
No I wanna stay out all night
Well I get tempted and I get tired
Of bein' and doin' everything right
Well life's not about the way you live
It's what you know to be right
Just keep on cryin' and learnin' and tryin'
To love one another in spite of spite
To love one another in spite of spite
I'm just a man I have my ups and downs
I have my share of bad days
But, I ain't friends with Billy Graham
And you can't find me on the telephone
You probably don't recognize me people
I ain't on them damn TV shows

Sometimes I wanna smoke and play
No I wanna stay out all night
Well I get tempted and I get tired
Of bein' and doin' everything right
Well life's not about the way you live
It's what you know to be right
Just keep on cryin' and learnin' and tryin'
To love one another in spite of spite
To love one another to love one another
Oh to love one another in spite of spite
