Lyrics:

(Intro)

I was born in the backseat 
Of a driving hurricane
I came up in the backstreets
Of a city with no name
I was raised on trouble
Rock when I should roll
I never could control it
And I can't even choke         ??????

I am what I am
I am the back door slam

When I walk down the streets
The street lights go out
When I drive through your town
The dogs start to hound
When I stand in the shadow
Sparks are in my hair
When I open up my mouth
My voice fills the air

I am what I am
I am the back door slam

People say
I'm charming
People say
I'm alarming
People can feel the disturbance around me
I don't care what they say they see

I'm the dust in your broom
A hundred proof everclear           ????
I'm the crack in your ceilin'
The thump you think you hear
I'm a 3 am phone call
Tank of gasoline              ????
I'm a shower that's stoppin' at the end of your street   ??? what does this mean ???

I am what I am
I am the back door slam

SOLO

People say
It's strange
People say
I'm dangerous
People can feel
How the deal was struck ???
Save my soul 
And make my own luck

I was born in the city
A city with no shame
And when I play guitar
They all know my name

I am what I am
I am the back door slam
I am what I am
I am the back door slam

SOLO 2
