Picture Of Me

I grew up on the edge of a cornfield

At the end of a long dirt road

Carolina plow boy

Ain’t had a free summer since I was ten years old

Mama made us pick our own switches

So we could feel the sting of doin’ wrong

That set me straight on the road I’m still on

I am who I am

The product of a good woman loved by a real good man

I’ve learned what I’ve learned

By findin' the right way in all of my wrong turns

I love what I love

I ain’t afraid to say it ‘cause I’m damn sure man enough

That’s what you need to see to get a picture of me

I grew up on gospel ‘cause that’s all my daddy’d listen to

I found my soul in rock and roll

When me and my first guitar were introduced

Truth is I’ve only loved one woman

And she’d have stayed, but I made her leave

She’s still hauntin’ me in every song I sing

I am who I am

The product of a woman still loved by a stubborn man

I’ve learned what I’ve learned

By findin' the right way in all of my wrong turns

I love what I love

I ain’t afraid to say it ‘cause I’m damn sure man enough

That’s what you need to see to get a picture of me

Like me or leave me

Either way you know it the second you shake my hand

I’m a long way from Jesus

But I know He knows I’m doin' the best I can

I am who I am

The product of the good Lord lovin’ a sinful man

I’ve learned what I’ve learned

By findin' the right way in all of my wrong turns

I love what I love

I ain’t afraid to say it ‘cause I’m damn sure man enough

That’s what you need to see

That’s what you need to see to get a picture of me
