Am I the Only One Lyrics by Aaron Lewis
Verse 1
Am I the only one, here tonight
Shakin’ my head and thinkin’ somethin’ ain’t right
Is it just me? Am I losin’ my mind?
Am I standin’ on the edge of the end of time?
Verse 2
Am I the only one? Tell me I’m not
Who thinks they’re takin’ all the good we got
And turnin’ it bad, hell, I’ll be damned
I think I’m turnin’ into my old man
Chorus
Am I the only one, willin’ to bleed
Or take a bullet for bein’ free
Screamin’, “What the fuck!” at my TV
For tellin’ me, yeah, are you tellin’ me?
That I’m the only one, willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin’ on the ground
Another statue comin’ down in a town near you
Post Chorus
Watchin’ the threads of Old Glory come undone
Verse 3
Am I the only one not brainwashed?
Makin’ my way through the land of the lost
Who still gives a shit, and worries ’bout his kids
As they try to undo all the things he did?
Chorus
Am I the only one who can’t take no more
Screamin’, “If you don’t like it there’s the fuckin’ door”
This ain’t the freedom we’ve been fightin’ for
It was somethin’ more, yeah, it was somethin’ more
Am I the only one, willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin’ on the ground
Another statue comin’ down in a town near you
Post Chorus
Watchin’ the threads of Old Glory come undone
I’m not the only one
I can’t be the only one
Bridge
Am I the only one who quit singin’ along
Every time they play a Springsteen song
Chorus
Am I the only one sittin’ here
Still holdin’ on, holdin’ back my tears
For the ones who paid with the lives they gave
God bless the U.S.A
I’m not the only one, willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin’ on the ground
Another statue comin’ down in a town near you
Post Chorus
Watchin’ the threads of Old Glory come undone
I’m not the only one
Outro
I can’t be the only one
