[Verse 1]
CI’m a long country mile from being in style, dirty hat and cowboy boots
CI cut my teeth on them old outlaw songs my daddy used to listen to
CGuess it’s in my genFesF#, IG gotta be Cme
[Verse 2]
CYeah, I say what I think, sometimes I drink and when I do I drink too much
CI wind up on my back, eye shining black and I know it’s all because
CBad as it might FbeF#, hGey I gotta be Cme
[CHORUS]
CYou can Fwine me up and dine me, you can polish up and shine me
But the Creal thing is goin’ shine through
It ain’t Dalways pretF#/Dty but the Dcowboy in F#/Dme couldn’t Gchange if he wanted to
[BRIDGE: C]
[Verse 3]
CYeah, I had a girl, her name was Pearl; I think she’s up in Arkansas
CShe raised her voice and gave me a choice ‘tween singing in a honkytonk or a j.oF.b
Ha, F#as you can Gsee, I gotta be Cme
[CHORUS]
Yeah, Cyou can Fwine me up and dine me, you can polish up and shine me
But the Creal thing is goin’ shine through
It ain’t Dalways pretF#/Dty but the Dcowboy in F#/Dme couldn’t Gchange if he wanted to
[BRIDGE: C, G, C]
[Verse 4]
CHey I’m a rusty old truck you see at front ‘tween the Lexus and the Coup de Ville
CA one of a kind that some try to find, some are hoping that never will
CStill I do my thFinF#g, G‘cause I gotta be Cme
CYeah, like it or Fnot, this is F#all I Ggot
I gotta be Cme OUTRO: C (Riff)
