Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I met a guy on the red eye He spotted my guitar And said what do you do? I said, I sing for a living, Country music mixed with A little rock and a little blues He said I'm sorry But I've never been crazy 'Bout that twang and trains and hillbilly thing What ever made you want to sing stuff like that? I just looked at him and laughed and said 'Cause it's songs about me And who I am Songs about loving and living And good hearted women and family and God Yeah they're all just Songs about me Songs about me So I offered him tickets I said you'll see what I mean If you show up tonight He said I doubt you'll change my opinion I'll be kind of busy, but hey man, I'll try Then later on when we finished our songs About scars and cars and broken hearts I saw him, he was standing there Right next to the stage And he shouted Man you were right It was like you sang those Songs about me And who I am Songs about loving and living And good hearted women and family and God Yeah they're all just Songs about me Songs about me So I'll just keep on singing 'Til I hear the whole world singing those Songs about me And who I am Songs about loving and living And good hearted women and family and God Yeah they're all just Songs about me Songs about me
