Lyrics

Alright now
This one's gonna be something
So
Turn it up

He came from dirt roads, sweat and steel
Learned mighty quick what hard times feel
Worked those hands till they bled bone white
Still showed up every morning light
Never begged for sympathy
Never bowed down on bended knee
Took every hit life threw his way
Got back up at the break of day

He ain't rich
He ain't famous
If you step up
You'd better step right

Standing tall against the wind
A Sovereign hard-earned blend
A soul that just won't brake
And a name that won't bend
Standing tall and not forgotten
A little more gray and a lot more
Rotten
Oh Ya you know it's Johnny Rotten

Seen broken dreams and empty bars
Long black nights beneath cold stars
Lost a few friends along the road
Still kept carrying every load
Every scar's another page
Written down with time and age
You can't buy what that man's earned
Some lessons only fire has learned

The miles got longer
The years rolled by
But they never broke
That Sovereign pride

Standing tall against the wind
A Sovereign hard earned blend
A soul that just won't brake
And a name that won't bend
Standing tall and not forgotten
A little more gray and a lot more
Rotten
Oh Ya you know it's Johnny Rotten

Still raising hell inside
With nothing left to hide
Maybe life's slowed down
But it wont pull you down
Life might be rotten
Your not gonna be forgotten
Ol'Johnny Rotten

Hey
Rotten
This place is Sovereign
Still kicking
Still living
Still raising hell
Ya Ol' Johnny Rotten

Standing tall against the wind
A Sovereign hard earned blend
A soul that just won't brake When the night rolls in
And the fire burns low
We'll tell the stories
Only old friends know
And a name that won't bend

Standing tall and not forgotten
A little more gray and a lot more
Rotten
Oh Ya you know it's Johnny Rotten

When the night rolls in
And the fire burns low
We'll tell the stories
Only old friends know
About the life
and the heart of Ol' Johnny Rotten
