Recently I've been thinkin'
About what I am
And where my priorities lie
Gettin' it together on some future plans
Decidin' what I need to get by
But I've tried workin' and schoolin'
But they're just not my brand, oh no
Can't you see I'll always be
A music man
Well I could be pickin' bluegrass
Or singin'the blues
It doesn't really matter to me
As long as I'm playin'music
I just can't lose
And no one's gonna tell me differently
'Cause all I really care about
It sittin' right here in my hands, oh yeah
Can't you see I'll always be
A music man
Well my mama sits and worries
About me for days
Even though she really likes
The way the boy plays
My daddy tells her
I'm just goin' through a phase
That's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin'
But I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't you see I'll always be
A music man
Oh can't you see I'll always be
A music man, yeah
Well my mama sits and worries
About me for days
Even though she really likes
The way the boy plays
My daddy tells her
I'm just goin' through a phase
That's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin'
But I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't you see I'll always be
A music man
Well I've told you my story
Now here's what I've found
To be happy you need only be real
So don't let anyone
Try to turn your head around
Just remember you are what you feel
You see all of my life
People been tryin' to tell me what I am, oh yeah
Can't you see I'll always be
A music man, oh yeah
Can't you see I'll always be
A music man, yeah
