Biografía:
Jeff Bates doesn’t cherry pick his life for the high spots. Whether he’s writing or singing a song, he’s always emotionally honest. You heard that quality in such of his RCA Records hits as “The Love Song,” “Rainbow Man,” “One Second Chance,” “I Wanna Make You Cry” and “Long Slow Kisses.”
Now comes the compelling CD, Jeff Bates, the singer’s debut collection for the Black River Music Group. Jeff’s was the guiding hand in 10 of the album’s 13 songs.

[Intro]
(G) (x4) bars
[Verse]
G
We didn't know for sure, but everybody said
C G
That ol' boy ain't right in the head, he's a little slow
We'd hide in the bushes not making a sound
C G
When he'd walk by we'd push him down on that dirt road
Em Bm C
I was just as guilty as my friends
Em Bm C
We had a lot of laughs at his ex- pense
[Chorus]
G C
He wasn't like us, he wasn't cool
Em D C
He'd just smile even while we were being cruel
G C
He stood out, he didn't fit in
Em D C
But we kept throwing the stones, no, we didn't let up on him
Em D C
He never said a mean word, no, he never even made a fuss
G
He wasn't like us
[Verse]
G C
Later on he made a name in our town, for hanging out
G C
And running around with the rough crowd
G
They were boozers and losers and low class broads
C G C
But he saw good in 'em nobody else saw and he brought it out
Em Bm C
Then the rumors started flyin' that he was some kind of holy man
Em Bm C
But we set him straight and told him to his face, he was a crazy man
[Chorus]
G C
He wasn't like us, he wasn't cool
Em D C
He'd just smile even while we were being cruel
G C
He stood out, he didn't fit in
Em D C
But we kept throwing the stones, no, we didn't let up on him
Em D C
He never said a mean word, no, he never even made a fuss
G
He wasn't like us
[Bridge]
Am Bm C
Well, I re- member the day he got in trouble with the law
Em D
They cussed him and kicked him and mocked him and whipped him
C
And they nailed him to the cross
[Tag]
G C
He wasn't like us, he didn't fit in
Em D C
And I fell down on my knees and wept for him
Em D C
He never said a mean word, no, he never even made a fuss
Em D C
He never did nothing wrong, all he ever did was love
G
He wasn't like us, he wasn't like us -----
