Just The Way I Am

Might slow it on down and wave at a passer-by Hug your neck, say I love you, instead of saying goodbye Ain't looking for one, but won't run from a fight I got too much pride Hey, I'm the kind of guy That likes the simple life, mmh The only suit and tie I own Is for when heaven calls somebody home I'm a cross around my neck I'm a hard to keep my temper in check I'm a night you might regret I'm that time that you'll never forget I'm that, "Hey, can I get a cigarette?" How much you wanna bet I'ma get her She's just playing hard to get, man Amen, raise a hand on a Sunday That's just the way I am Hey man, give a damn from the country That's just the way I am Yeah, might cuss a little more than I probably should I'm a poor man's Hemingway back in the woods I take a little while to get to know But once you know me then you know That I'm the kind of guy, hey That's always down to ride or drive I'll be a good old boy to the bone Till the good Lord calls me home I'm a cross around my neck I'm a hard to keep my temper in check I'm a night you might regret I'm that time that you'll never forget I'm that, "Hey, can I get a cigarette?" How much you wanna bet I'ma get her She's just playing hard to get, man Amen, raise a hand on a Sunday That's just the way I am Hey man, give a damn from the country That's just the way I am I'm the salt on my collar Working hard on a dollar Friday night hoot and holler Kind of guy from out yonder I'm a beer off a backroad Fishing with a cane pole Smoking on some on some hand-rolled, yeah I'm a cross around my neck I'm a cross around my neck I'm a hard to keep my temper in check I'm a night you might regret I'm that time that you'll never forget I'm that, "Hey, can I get a cigarette?" How much you wanna bet I'ma get her She's just playing hard to get, man Amen, raise a hand on a Sunday That's just the way I am Hey man, give a damn from the country That's just the way I am
