LyricMeaning

It's What I Am
John Michael Montgomery

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

John Michael Montgomery It's What I Am
