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 through order takers   Who can muster up a smile   I'm for takin' in that stray dog   And for 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 my 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   Who 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 my 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 for counting all my blessings   When the wolf is at my door   You don't have to guess what I'm against   You don't have to guess what I'm against   You know what I'm for
