[Uncle Ben]

I was born to chew bubblegum and kick ass

 

Spoiler

[RedAuthar]

I'm the Batman.

[ILOVEVHS]

I am your father.

[RedAuthar]

One more:

 

When I was young, my father gave me an ax.  One day I used it to chop down his favorite cherry tree.  When my father asked me about it I said, "I can not tell a lie.   Tommy Jefferson did it."

[Uncle Ben]

i got two more:

 

"I was born from the sun and have sand in my veins"

 

&

 

"In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

 

...

 

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, homes to Bel Air'

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air"

Why did these FUSers post nonsense instead of real things, you ask?

Well, every time a FUSer posts nonsense, they gain a freckle.

Here we go...

 

[Willie Nelson:]
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive

[Kris Kristofferson:]
I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still

[Waylon Jennings:]
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around, and around and around and around and around...

[Johnny Cash:]
I fly a starship
Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again...

-Highwayman by The Highwaymen.

 

[Johnny Cash:]
I am a shotgun rider,
For the San Jacinto line,
The desert is my brother,
My skin is cracked and dry.
I was ridin' on a folk coach
And everything was fine,
Till we took a shorter road
To save some time.
The bandits only fired once,
They shot me in the chest.
They may have wounded me but,
They'll never get the best
Of better men.
'Cause I'll ride again.

[Waylon Jennings:]
I am a river gambler,
I make a livin' dealin' cards.
My clothes are smooth and honest,
My heart is cold and hard.
I was shufflin' for some delta boys,
On a boat for New Orleans,
I was the greatest shark they'd ever seen.
But the captain bumped a sandbar,
And an ace fell from my sleeve.
They threw me overboard,
As I swore I didn't cheat.
But I could swim.
And I'll ride again.

[All 4:]
We are heroes of the homeland, American remains.
We live in many faces and answer many names.
We will not be forgotten, we won't be left behind.
Our memories live on in mortal minds
And poets pens.
We'll ride again.

[Willie Nelson:]
I am a mid-west farmer,
I make a livin' off the land,
I ride a John Deere tractor,
I'm a liberated man.
But the rain it hasn't fallen,
Since the middle of July,
And if it don't come soon my crops will die.
The bank man says he likes me,
But there's nothin' he can do.
He tells me that he's comin',
But the clouds are comin' too.
He ain't my friend.
And I'll ride again.

[Kris Kristofferson:]
I am an American Indian,
My tribe is Cherokee.
My forefathers loved this land.
They left it here for me.
But the white man came with boats,
And trains and dirty factories,
An' poisened my existence with his deeds.
Nature is our mother,
We are sucklins at her breast.
And he who tries to beat her down,
Will lose her to the rest.
They'll never win.
I'll ride again.

I've been obnoxious, I've been unconscious,
I've been all kind of things that are hard to spell.
I've been unruly, speaking truly,
I've been so cool I couldn't hardly even stand myself.
I've been a monster, without a sponsor,
I've been Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
I've been a goner, I've been a loner,
And when my mixture was right,
I'm a nice bunch of guys.

I am what I am cause I ain't what I used to be.
'Cause it is what it is but it ain't what it used to be.

I've been a mover, I was a shaker,
He had a girlfriend, I tried to snake her.
I been mysterious, I been delirious,
I been so weird it woulda killed a normal man.
I wanted money, I wanted power,
I want a monument kinda like the Eiffel Tower.
I been lost at sea, I been lost in space,
And when I fall in love I fall all over the place.

I am what I am cause I ain't what I used to be. (oooh, yeah)
Cause it is what it is but it ain't what it used to be.

[Spoken:] Well, tell 'em about it

And you can go on forever and make the same mistakes,
Or you can stand up on your hind legs and change your fate.
Go on and do it till you finally see,
What it is that it was that you don't want to be.

[Spoken:] Walking tall, hoo!

I was an outlaw, I was an in-law,
I was a scapegoat, that was the last straw.
I hit the highway, singin' my way,
But it wound up sounding like 'you'll never walk alone'.
I got a story, reflected glory,
Is the way that I been seeing for most of my life.
I heard the laughter, up in the rafters,
But I never ever thought that the joke was on me.

I am what I am cause I ain't what I used to be.
[Spoken: well, maybe just a little.]
Cause it is what it is but it ain't what it used to be.

Yeah, I am what I am cause I ain't what I used to be.
Cause it is what it is but it ain't what it used to be.

I've always thought these 3 songs tie in rather well with Omnians.
