I got my first guitar when i was just a boy |
|
I was playing the blues instead of playing with toys |
|
Listening to the opry and dreaming of the neon lights |
|
So it was late to bed and early to rise |
|
I worked the field all day and the crowd all night |
|
My finger on the trigger and nashville in my sights |
|
I'm the real thing and i sing songs about real life |
|
And i never heard a fiddle called a violin |
|
Never really worried if i fit in |
|
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am |
|
This hat ain't something i wear for style |
|
These boots have been around a while |
|
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am |
|
I learned to drive on a dirt road |
|
Cruised the strip on rock and roll |
|
And drove around on "miles and miles of texas" |
|
And as i grew daddy showed me now |
|
To earn a living by the sweat of my brow |
|
But he never made me follow in his steps |
|
He said work hard and let the good lord do the rest |
|
And i never heard a fiddle called a violin |
|
Never really worried if i fit in |
|
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am |
|
This truck ain't something i drive for style |
|
These boots have been around a while |
|
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am |
|
And i never heard a fiddle called a violin |
|
Never really worried if i fit in |
|
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am |
|
This hat ain't something i wear for style |
|
These boots have been around a while |
|
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am |
