Montgomery John Michael - It's What I Am Lyrics

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 Montgomery John Michael Lyrics It's What I Am Lyrics
