I'm not settin the world on fire
And I'm too old for American Idol
And I don't look or dress like some celebrity
But I don't mind what I see
And besides, I'm alright with being me
I know my songs have never been
A perfect fit for the box that they're crammed in
I'm not quite rock, not quite pop, not quite country
But it still sounds good to me
And besides, I'm alright with being me
It means I don't have to go where every songwriter has been
Don't need the same worn out tone on my guitar again
Bein me means I don't owe nobody anything
And the only reason I need to sing is to sing
I'm not settin the world on fire
And I'm too old for American Idol
And I'm not Nickelback, or Fallout Boy or Creed
But that's not what I need
And besides, I'm alright. .
Yeah I sleep ok at night...
And I know I'll have my time. .
I say I'm doin' fine being me
I'm not settin the world on fire
But, hey, screw the idol
