John Michael Montgomery - It's What I Am lyrics

(john calvert/aaron sain) 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 dreaming of the 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 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 These boots have been around a while Country ain't what i sing it's what i am I learned to drive on a 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 now 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 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 truck ain't something i drive for style These boots have been around a while Country ain't what i sing it's what i am 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 These boots have been around a while Country ain't what i sing it's what i am
