JUST BEING ME
[ country, Americana ]

          Some folks are mainly dreamers, dreaming their lives away
          Some sincere believers are easily led astray
          Some folks try way too hard to escape reality
          And it's hard enough for me just being me

                Yeah, some folks try and tell me to shape up and be good
                Some say I should forget about it and move to Hollywood
                Some wish they were someone else, most are too hard on themselves
                And everyone seems to think they know how I should be
                But it's hard enough for me just being me

          Some folks die brokenhearted long before they can get old
          Chasing too many rainbows looking for their pile of gold
          You know, it can be so hard to get up, but we fall down so easily
          And it's hard enough for me just being me

                Yeah, some folks say I should try hard to do what I should do
                But when it comes to knowing what's true, they don't really have a clue
                Some wish they were someone else, most are too hard on themselves
                And everyone seems to think they know how I should be
                But it's hard enough for me just being me

          I was born with a wandering heart always beating to my own drum
          With a guitar in my hand and a few songs that have to be sung

                Some folks say I should be like they think I should be
                But what they say gets in the way of me tryin' to be free
                Some wish they were someone else, most are too hard on themselves
                And everyone seems to think they know how I should be
                But it's hard enough for me just being me
                Yeah, it's hard enough for me just being me *


* Inspired by Merle Haggard, America's friend of the common people.
