It's What I Am

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 Yeah I’m a real thing singing songs about real life Chorus: 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 red dirt road Used to cruise the strip on Rock n Roll Drove around on miles and miles of Texas And as I grew daddy showed me how To earn a livin by the sweat of my brow And I’m damn proud to follow in his steps He said work hard and let the good lord do the rest Chorus: 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 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 It’s What I Am
