Just Being Me

[Intro ]
A    G   D   A 
Bm   G   D   A 


 
A                     A 
Since I was knee high to the ground 
D                         A 
I knew damn well I wasn't suppose to 
A             A 
Cuss or chase girls around 
D                                    A 
Or carve my name in the back of that church pew 
A           G 
Since I can remember 
D                A 
Mama said boy be better 
Bm  G 
But sometimes 
D            A 
I just gotta be me 
 

 
A                                   G 
That's why I threw my drink in your ex's face 
D                 A 
When I saw him in Tennessee 
A                                  G 
Or when I met your folks after our first date 
D                     A 
And your daddy really hated me 
A                                    G 
'Cause of the drinks I drink and the smoke I smoke or 
D                         A 
The friends I keep and my offside jokes 
Bm                           G 
Raise a glass or flask to my last apology 
D            A 
Aw, I'm just being me 
 

 
Bm              G 
Now a few years down the road 
D                     A 
I got me a wife and a family and 
A                    G 
I'm trying to settle down 
D                  A 
But them boys keep callin' me 
A                             G 
They wanna drag me out, but I tend to run my mouth 
D              A 
And when I do, yeah, when I do 
A           G 
It all goes south 
D             A 
(to Chorus) 
 

 
A                                   G

Or when I met your folks after our first date 
D                     A 
And your daddy really hated me 
A                                    G 
'Cause of the drinks I drink and the smoke I smoke or
