    I left my home still as a child
    I walked a thousand soary miles
    To wait for my father, to gather up his truth

    He said my boy you’ve got to run
    Don’t wait for me, don’t wait for mum
    We’ll come get you, when it’s safe for us to move

    So I waited many years,
    held back the pain behind my tears
    For my father, to come find me like he said

    And in that time I was alone,
    so many years without my home
    I made brothers of a different kind instead

    [Instrumental break]

    And in the time I didn’t know,
    just how hard the wind could blow
    Towards disaster, and the things that I would see

    I never found my father,
    I never found my mother
    Even would I know in my lifetime I will be

    A hero into the masses,
    to those born without chances
    There’s a freedom that everyone deserves

    I know there’s greed and there’s corruption
    I’ve seen death and mass destruction
    But I’m telling you, and I hope that I’m heard

    And I will not be commanded,
    And I will not be controlled
    And I will not let my future go on,
    without the help of my soul

    And I will not be commanded,
    And I will not be controlled
    And I will not let my future go on,
    without the help of my soul

    And I will not be commanded,
    And I will not be controlled
    And I will not let my future go on,
    without the help of my soul

    I will not be commanded,
    I will not be controlled
    And I will not let my future go on,
    without the help of my soul

    Sons of Anarchy, Season 4, episode 3 or 4, final scene.
    Then you’ll now. Highly recommend to listen to it for the first time in the episode (in case you’ll be starting the journey)

    A man, a woman who will be sucked in by the world of SONS OF ANARCHY, probably, very probably, will feel her / his tears flowing when seeing the scene with this song.

    „Breaking Bad and Dexter are both great series. But you can’t beat the dialog on Justified. Elmore Leonard is famous for his spot on realistic dialog, and this show continues the tradition. I don’t know how much of this script he actually wrote, but the team that put this together stayed true to the spirit and style of Leonard’s laser sharp and slightly off center characters.

    The people in charge of casting must stay very busy finding the folks that populate this world of screwball criminals and flawed lawmen. I just love this show. It’s really a western set in modern-day Kentucky. All of the characters could easily be transported to a classic American West setting. I think this tragi-comic epic could even give Shakespeare a run for his money. OK, maybe I’m getting carried away. Just watch this thing.“
