This is Who I Am

I was raised by the same old songs

My mother used to sing when she was young

In our house Dolly was the queen

And Elvis, he was king

Johnny, Willy, Kris and Merle

Were the best damn teachers a boy could have

But the truth be told it was Patsy and Tammy

Who made me the man I am

All through the years, I've heard it all

Even went to the dark side of rock and roll

But I came back around to where it all began, yeah

'Cause this is who I am, this is how I'm made

I got country music running through my veins

Like it or not, take it or leave it

I don't give a damn, 'cause this is who I am

This is who I am

This is who I am

This is who I am

Well the 90's came with a brand new wave

And the sound of country was never the same

One man took to the sky like a one way rocket to the moon

With songs like The Dance and Baton Rouge

Yeah, Friends In Low Places just to name a few

Well I'm sorry mama, but Garth will always be king to me

All through the years, I've heard it all

Even went to the dark side of rock and roll

But I came back around to where it all began

'Cause this is who I am, this is how I'm made

I got country music running through my veins

Like it or not, take it or leave it

I don't give a damn, 'cause this is who I am

This is who I am

Yeah I'm as proud as hell

To be a country boy

Like my father and his father before

'Cause this is who I am, this is how I'm made

I got country music running through my veins

Like it or not, take it or leave it

I don't give a damn, 'cause this is who I am

This is who I am, this is how I'm made

I got country music running through my veins

Like it or not, take it or leave it

I don't give a damn, 'cause this is who I am

This is who I am

This is who I am

This is who I am

This is who I am

This is who I am
