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
