(darryl worley/leslie) I'd like to lay this old hammer down Drive my pickup truck to town Find a friend and just hang around If i could just be me Grab a bobber and my old cane pole Spend a evenin' at the fishin' hole Why i wouldn't hurt a soul If i could just be me I've learned to live behind these fences But i'm not the kind of man to just go along Now and then i need a chance to be who i am Maybe sing a different song I need to put my worries on a shelf Take some time to get to know myself
I wouldn't have to be nobody else If i could just be me I've learned to live behind these fences But i'm not the kind of man to just go along Now and then i need a chance to be who i am Maybe sing a different song If i didn't have these bills to pay If i could really have my way I'd lay around and love on you all day If i could just be me If i didn't have these bills to pay If i could just be me If i could just be me If i could just be me
