Aaron Tippin - Trim Yourself To Fit The World Lyrics
(aaron tippin/philip douglas/kim williams)Each time the good lord makes a manHe always breaks the moldSo it sure does raise a flag for thatRebel in my soulWhen some phony carbon copy saysIm the black sheep of the foldWell, this is what I tell emWhen I tell em where to goIf you trim yourself to fit the worldThere wont be nothin leftJust a little here and a little thereTill you wont know yourselfYoull be a pile of shavingsWhen they put you in your graveIf you trim yourself to fit the worldYoull whittle yourself awayI could change to fit his worldBut I just aint that kindSome sell their soul for the easy roadThe devils always buyingI cant count the ones Ive knownWho fell right into lineNow they walk around with their heads hung downTheyve got no piece of mindIf you trim yourself to fit the worldThere wont be nothin leftJust a little here and a little thereTill you wont know yourselfYoull be a pile of shavingsWhen they put you in your graveIf you trim yourself to fit the worldYoull whittle yourself awaySo before you sign that dotted lineOr do something that youd rather notBefore you compromise your standFriend, let me tell you whatDont let the crowd get so loudYou cant hear your conscience speakcause Im willing to bet that youll soon regretThat you sold yourself so cheapIf you trim yourself to fit the worldThere wont be nothin leftJust a little here and a little thereTill you wont know yourselfYoull be a pile of shavingsWhen they put you in your graveIf you trim yourself to fit the worldYoull whittle yourself awayIf you trim yourself to fit the worldYoull whittle yourself away
