Pat Green- What I'm For

Pat Green's newest hit off of his newest album What I'm For.
Lyrics to What I'm For:
I'm for wildflowers in the window
Mechanics you can trust
I'm for crackers in my chili
And leavin' grudges in the dust

I'm for drive thru order takers
Who can muster up a smile
I'm for takin' in that stray dog
That's been hangin' 'round for awhile

I'm for turning off the TV
Gettin' off the internet
I'm for learning all the words
To the Gettysburg Address

I'm for dusty pawn shop guitars
And boxers passed their prime
I'm for soakin' up the wisdom
When an old man speaks his mind.

I'm for laid off factory workers
When the wolf is at the door
You don't have to guess what I'm against
If you know what I'm for

I'm for Texas Margaritas
Gettin' outta debt
I'm for havin' faith in something
That hasn't happened yet

For the shy kid in the corner
Afraid to ask the girl to dance
For the ex-con outta prison
Who just wants a second chance

For the inner city teacher
With her heart stuck in her throat
Can still see God in every child
And never gives up hope

I'm for dusty pawn shop guitars
And boxers passed their prime
I'm for soakin' up the wisdom
When and old man speaks his mind

I'm for Detroit factory workers
When the wolf is at the door
You don't have to guess what I'm against
If you know what I'm for

I'm counting all my blessings
When the wolf is at my door
You don't have to ask what I'm against
You don't have to guess what I'm against
You know what I'm for

[nickitynick8]

i love this song, i gave it 5 stars. but since the first day i heard it i was wondering does "boxers past their prime" refer to boxers like people who are in the sport of boxing, or is he for like, crusty underwear?

[lilchi721]

I think the people but I don't know you have to ask him what that means. I'm glad you liked the song!

[SeriesManiak2]

Wonderful song ! 5 stars !

[lilchi721]

Thanks!

This song defines a positive approach to defining ones values as opposed to the disagreeing with the way someone else chooses to live. I heard this song for the first time a couple of weeks ago and shouted "NOW THERE YOU HAVE IT!"

[DaveWollenberg]

Pat hit #28 in Billboard, in '09. Thought he'd have some new music, by now. Is he in the process of recordin' a new album? Please let me know. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

[brettvedros]

[peanut7988]

i like the having faith in somethin that hasn't happened yet,and i thought it was boxes.:)

[86cuzican]

Boxers.....the sport im sure! WHy the hell would he be talking about all these people and then underwear??LOL..."past their prime" is a common phrase for boxers and athletes....I dont know any man that has been for old underwear, but this could be a first.

[jefferyod]

@nickitynick8 thanks for the laugh needed that

[WillyJosephWright]

@nickitynick8 he means, i believe, the dog... as in an old dog that is old and basically useless but you love it all the same

[nathan61984]

Definately Undies....You guys must not know Pat.

[gixxer06g]

Boxers have short and brutal careers and afterwords they're left with nothing but their pride. Of course he's talking about them. Underwear??? Come on.

[gixxer06g]

Ali.....Foreman....etc. He's not talking about underwear you idiot.
