  • I met a guy on a red eye
    He spotted my guitar
    And said, "what do you do?"
    I said, "I sing for a living
    Country music mixed with a little rock and a little blues"
    He said, "I'm sorry but I've never been crazy
    'Bout that twang and trains and hillbilly thing
    What ever made you want to sing stuff like that?"
    I just looked at him and laughed and said

    'Cause it's songs about me
    And who I am
    Songs about loving and living
    And good hearted women, family and God
    Yeah, they're all just songs about me
    Songs about me

    So I offered him tickets
    I said, "you'll see what I mean
    If you show up tonight"
    He said, "I doubt you'll change my opinion
    I'll be kind of busy, but hey man, I'll try"

    Then later on when we finished our songs
    About scars and cars and broken hearts
    I saw him, he was standing there
    Right next to the stage
    And he shouted
    "Man you were right
    It was like you sang those"

    Songs about me
    And who I am
    Songs about loving and living
    And good hearted women, family and God
    Yeah, they're all just songs about me
    Songs about me, yeah

    So I'll just keep on singing
    'Til I hear the whole world singing those are

    Songs about me
    And who I am
    Songs about loving and living
    And good hearted women, family and God
    Yeah, they're all just songs about me
