Well everybody sees me being a blinin' country rok star
|
Drivin' downtown poundin' honky tonk sounds in my bandit car
|
They didn't know me back then '92, with my pawn-shop guitar
|
And the holes in my boots
|
Didn't see what I had to go through
|
All the beatin's I took, just a payin' my dues, and now
|
|
Everybody wants to be me
|
But the don't want to bruise and they Don't want to bleed
|
Want to spend all the money, hung up all the honeys
|
And try to get their fortune for free
|
Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be
|
No but everybody wants, everybody want to be me
|
|
Well there's a camera ub ny face nearly everyday
|
And I just got to grin
|
They take my country-boy views make it big city news
|
And I just take it on the chin
|
'Cause when you're playin' at the top of your game
|
When the phone's always ringin' and they're droppin' names
|
But the second that you start to fall
|
Hey nobody cares and nobody calls, but
|
|
Everybody wants to be me
|
But the don't want to bruise and they Don't want to bleed
|
Want to spend all the money, hung up all the honeys
|
And try to get their fortune for free
|
Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be
|
No but everybody wants, everybody want to be me
|
|
Well everybody wants to be me
|
But they don't want to bruise and they don't want to bleed
|
Want to spend all the money, hug up all the honeys
|
Try to get their fortune for free
|
|
Everybody wants to be me
|
But the don't want to bruise and they Don't want to bleed
|
Want to spend all the money, hung up all the honeys
|
And try to get their fortune for free
|
Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be
|
No but everybody wants, everybody want to be me
|
|
Everybody wants
|
I said everybody wants, everybody wants to be me
|
Yeah they want to be me
|
Yes they do
|
Everybody wants to be me
|
