I thought the good things in life were plated gold
That being wealthy would stop me getting old
I saw the bright lights that blinded me to truth
I lost my bearings to the recklessness of youth
But I - Ain't gonna fake it. Ain't gonna take it anymore
Ain't gonna fake it. Ain't gonna take it anymore
All my possessions they start to weigh me down
I'm just a country boy, held prisoner by the town
It's to time simplify and shed that heavy load
Set free and sanctified, I hit the open road
And I - Ain't gonna fake it. Ain't gonna take it anymore
No no no no I - Ain't gonna fake it. Ain't gonna take it anymore
I'll cleanse and purify. My slate wiped clean
In a world of degradation, I will shine my light
There comes a time in every life
When your star will rise and you'll burn so bright
You'll burn so bright…. Keep it burnin', yeah!
Walk beside me as my troubles disappear
There's so much out there and there's nothing left to fear
Free from the carousel and the book of crazy lies
The scales have fallen and it's time to live my life
And I - Ain't gonna fake it. Ain't gonna take it anymore
No no no I said - Ain't gonna fake it. Ain't gonna take it anymore
Hey, yeah!
[ Solo ]
Ain't gonna fake it. Ain't gonna take it anymore
No no no I said - in't gonna fake it. I ain't gonna take it anymore
Ain’t gonna take it!

about
Steve Bonham and The Long Road England, UK
A swampy brew of styles mixed from both sides of the ocean, characterised by sharp lyrics, great melodies and the fab sound of acoustic instruments being played with passion and purpose. It’s a kind of music that appeals to the renegade and outlaw in us all. ... more
