It`s What I Am — текст песни (montgomery john michael)

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 daydreaming of those 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
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
And 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
Cruised the strip on rock and roll
And drove around on Miles and Miles of Texas
And as I grew Daddy showed me how
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
Repeat Chorus
