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)

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



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

(repeat)
