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



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



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



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



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



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

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
