I can’t afford a night on the town Don’t have no money to burn Life in the shadows is getting me down Seems everywhere that I turn I meet a brick wall I’m gonna knock'em down some day I’m gonna walk tall Get off the wrong road I’m gonna find myself a better way That’s for sure Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more I’ve seen them castin glances at me With disapprovin eyes If they keep looking Their gonna see Out of the ashes I’ll rise There’ll be a new dawn I’ll but an end to all their mockin Cause I’ll be reborn I’ll make a new life Won’t ever hear those hard times knockin At my door Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more I’m gonna be the man that god made Aint gonna settle for less From now on you’ll get the real thing I’m being me I’m gonna be a success Oh Yes I’m thinking different I’m stepping out Find me a new way to walk I won’t surrender to feelings or doubts People will hear when I talk Aint gonna stay down Aint gonna let this old world kick me Although I’m way down I’m gonna aim high Maybe lady luck will pick off the floor Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more I’m gonna be the man that god made Aint gonna settle for less From now on you’ll get the real thing I’m being me I’m gonna be a success Yeah yeah I can’t afford a night on the town Don’t have no money to burn Life in the shadows is getting me down Seems everywhere that I turn I meet a brick wall I’m gonna knock’em down some day I’m gonna walk tall Get off the wrong road Find myself a better way That’s for sure Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more Aint gonna be a counterfeit man no more
