If I Could Just Be Me

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Outro]
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
