I'd like to lay this old hammer down
drive my pickup truck to town
find a friend and just hang around
if i could just be me
Grab a bobber and my old cane pole
spend a evenin' at the fishin' hole
why i wouldn't hurt a soul
if i could just be me
I've learned to live behind these fences
but i'm not the kind of man to just go along
now and then i need a chance to be who i am
maybe sing a different song
I need to put my worries on a shelf
take some time to get to know myself
i wouldn't have to be nobody else
if i could just be me
I've learned to live behind these fences
but i'm not the kind of man to just go along
now and then i need a chance to be who i am
maybe sing a different song
If i didn't have these bills to pay
if i could really have my way
i'd lay around and love on you all day
if i could just be me
if i didn't have these bills to pay
If i could just be me
if i could just be me
if i could just be me
