Lyrics

Well, everybody sees me bein' a blangin' country rock star Drivin' downtown, poundin' honky-tonk sounds in my Bandit car They didn't know me back in '92 With my pawn shop guitar and the holes in my boots Didn't see what I had to go through All the beatings I took just to payin' my dues And now everybody wants to be me But they don't wanna bruise and they don't wanna bleed Wanna spend all the money, hug up all the honeys Tryin' to get their fortune for free Don't wanna do what it takes to be what they wanna be Naw, but everybody wants, everybody wants to be me Yeah, they do Well, there's a camera in my face nearly every day And I just gotta grin They take my country boy views, make 'em big city news And I just take it on the chin 'Cause when you're playin' at the top of your game Well, the phone's always ringin' and they're droppin' your name But the second that you start to fall Hey, nobody cares and nobody calls But everybody wants to be me But they don't wanna bruise and they don't wanna bleed Wanna spend all the money, hug up all the honeys Tryin' to get their fortune for free Don't wanna do what it takes to be what they wanna be Naw, but everybody wants, everybody wants to be me Well, everybody wants to be me But they don't wanna bruise and they don't wanna bleed Wanna spend all the money, hug up all the honeys Tryin' to get their fortune for free Everybody wants to be me But they don't wanna bruise and they don't wanna bleed Wanna spend all the money, hug up all the honeys Tryin' to get their fortune for free Don't wanna do what it takes to be what they wanna be Naw, but everybody wants, everybody wants, everybody wants I said everybody wants, everybody wants to be me Yeah, they wanna be me Yes, they do Everybody wants to be me
