Who I Am

[Verse 1]
It's where I hang my hat
It's where my roots runs deep
It's the earth my father's father turned
On the land where they raised me
It's looking down at these hands
Tell the story of the years
Flood to wash the dust away
Drought to dry the tears

[Chorus]
It's who I am, it's what I do
Living life out on this sunburned land, it might not be for you
All I know (All I know)
It's what I love (What I love)
And I'll do this 'til the day I die and I'll never give this up
And I'll spend the rest of my days with dirt upon my hands
'Cause this is who I am

[Verse 2]
It's the records that I wore out
It's the heroes on my wall
It's the dream that I've been dreaming of
Since I was six years old
It's the songs that I keep writing
It's the miles that I drive
It's the little bar in this town
I'm playing at tonight

[Chorus]
It's who I am (Who I am)
It's what I do (What I do)
And pouring your heart out on to a stage, it might not be for you
But all I know (All I know)
It's what I love (What I love)
So l'll do this 'til the day I die and I'll never give this up
And I'll spend the rest of my days playing in this band
'Cause this is who I am (Who I am, who I am, oh)

[Verse 3]
He's a miner in the top end, she's a nurse on the night shift
A single mother working part-time jobs to raise three kids
He's a ringer riding fences, a truckie hauling freight
It's something deep inside us all and I'm proud to say

[Bridge]
It's who I am
And this is what I do
Yeah, this life ain't for everyone
Hell, ain't that the truth?

[Chorus]
But all I know (All I know)
It's what I love (What I love)
So I'll do this 'til the day I die and I'll never give this up
And I know some days it won't go to plan
But I'll still be out here doin' what I can
'Cause this is who I am (Who I am, who I am)
Oh, this is who I am (Who I am, who I am)
Yeah, this is who I am
