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
