	Story Behind the Song I think the lyrics will explain a lot... Ironically, this song didn't appear on my album "Favorite Son" because I wrote it when I was almost finished making the record... this is a personal favorite of mine. Lyrics It would be tough on any boy With such an alien face When the love goes to the pretty ones And this rebel child is erased So desperate to belong and it was killing me And the hand that held me up Was the same hand that held me down But it wasn't always vinegar I had the honey of dreams To hide me from the broken King And his long-dead Queen You know, he never even got to say good-bye And the hand that held him up Was the same hand that held him down And I know that now... As a man I come into a world that's come undone And I wonder if they'll recognize me After all this time... Their favorite son I wish to God I didn't care That I could learn and move on Heaven knows I've earned my share of scars And the pain's long gone But anger doesn't really age so gracefully When the hand that reeled me in Is the same hand that cast me out Now I've waded through the drama pool I know the past is for fools Took me years to reinvent myself Somehow, I'm still uncool... But I'm here to tell the storyAnd that's all right Because as long as I believe It doesn't matter if they doubt And I know that now... As a man I come into a world that's come undone And I wonder if they'll recognize me After all this time... Their favorite son
