I Am From No Set Label

I am from country living and bareback riding But you wouldn't know that 'cause i keep hiding I look like I'm gothic but i really don't bite Trust me I'm not that big of a fright I am from backyard football and gymnastics I'm sorry, I'm not really a romantic Playing videogames and household chores While findin' time to hang with the boys I am from western saddles and drag racing My dad's camaro going through it's fast paces Wanting my own classic beauty Just wanna be seen as groovy I am from dark poetry and hard back books Not really caring how everyone looks Never caring how they see me Because I am who I want to be I am from darkness and not of the light Sorry, it may seem a fright I once had dreams that frightened me so They wanted me dead, but i said no I am from children of the dark And in the night I awake with a start Feeling unknown forces in my head Voices that filled my being with dread I am from misunderstanding and many wrong looks Many people think I seem like a crook But I am from no set label And I don't think I will ever be able
