Gotta Be Me Lyrics

I'm a lone country mile from bein' style
Dirty hat an cowboy boots
I cut my teeth on them old outlaw songs
My daddy used to listen to
Guess it's in my genes
I gotta be me
Yeah I say what I think
But sometimes I drink
And when I do I drink too much
Wind up on my back
Eye shinin' black
And I know it's all because bad as it might be
Hey I gotta be me

You can wine me up an dine me
You can polish up an shine me but the real things gonna shine through
It ain't always pretty but the cowboy in me
Couldn't change if he wanted to

Yeah I had a girl her name was Pearl
I think she's up in Arkansaw
She raised her voice and gave me a choice
'Tween singin' in a Honkeytonk or JOB
As u can see I gotta be me

Yeah you can wine me up an dine me
You can polish up an shine me but the real things gonna shine through
It ain't always pretty but the cowboy in me
Couldn't change if he wanted to

Yeah im rusty ole truck, you see out front
'Tween the Lexus and the Cootie Ville
The one of a kind that some try to find
Some are hopin' that they never will still I do my thing
'Cause I gotta be me
Yeah like it or not this is all I got
And I gotta be me
