If I changed my mind If I changed my faith Every time a stop light signaled Each time I made mistakes I don't think that I would be where I am today I live my life without regrets What you see is, what you see is What you see is what you get and I'm Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed, unashamed Adding up my life, it totals all my dreams I'm counting all my blessings and the gifts I have received Still there's always someone, something to overcome Took all my life to understand that I am what I am, who I am Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed Do you wanna know how it goes? Do you wanna control how I feel? Do you wanna stay in my life? Then listen here and listen good You got to get it, got to get it, got to get it right Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed Unashamed of the life I lead Unashamed of the strength on my knees The choices I've made, of the love that I've saved Of things I've done, my belief in the one Unashamed of the words of my friends I know who they are make mistakes, make amends Follow my instincts, my star, on my sleeve I wear my heart Unashamed

Got me a postcard and a twenty dollar bill I told you I'd meet you in Memphis if you bring me those pills And I got high and I got dry for far too long And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me along They called me the wild card And they called me their fool I told them I'd bring 'em that money If they'd get me back to you And I got cash and I got robbed for all I own And the gypsy train to Houston is gonna take me back home I got clean and I got a steady job No longer was I running from the emblems of the law And I got clean and I got mean to the bone And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone And the gypsy train to Houston won't leave me alone

Bark at the branch, and stick it to the man Flavor for a friend, wherever ya been? Long overdo, and trying to the true Say, whoever knew? The news is blue Most days are mostly the same, and I can't remember their names I can't remember anything Can't quit coughing, slow to soften, lights less often Stay when your wanted, or say what you wanted to know Say what you wanted, or stay when you're wanted to go If you're a loser, I guess I'm losing it all (a lot like a loser that's no good at losing at all)
