Cody Johnson - Gotta Be Me lyrics

Artist: Cody Johnson

album: Gotta Be Me


I'm a long country mile from bein' in style
Dirty hat and 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
My eyes shinin' black
And I know it's all because, bad as it might be
Hey, I gotta be me
You can wind me up an dine me
You can polish up and shine me
But the real thing's gonna shine through
It ain't always pretty, but the cowboy in me
Couldn't change if he wanted
Yeah, I had a girl, her name was Pearl
I think she's up in Arkansas
She raised her voice and gave me a choice
'Tween singin' in a Honkeytonk or a J-O-B
And as you can see, I gotta be me
Yeah, you can wine me up and dine me
You can polish up an shine me
But the real thing's gonna shine through
It ain't always pretty but the cowboy in me
Couldn't change if he wanted to
Yeah, I'm a rusty old truck you see out front
'Tween the Lexis and the Coupe de 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
