Recently I've been thinkin about what
I am and where my priorities lie
Gettin it together on some future plan,
decidin what I need to get by
I tried workin and schoolin
but there just not my plan, oh no
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
Well I could be pickin bluegrass or singin the blues,
it doesn't really matter to me
As long as I'm playin the music I just can't lose,
and noones gonna tell me differently
Cause all I really care about is sittin right
here in my hands,
oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
Well my momma sits and worries
about me for days
Even though she really likes
the way the boy plays
My daddy tells her
I'm just goin through a phase
But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin
but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
(repeat) yeah
(solo)

Well I've told you my story now here's what
I've found
To be happy you need only be real
So don't let anyone try to turn your head around
Just remember you are what you feel
You see all of my life people been
tryin to tell me what I am, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man, oh yeah
