I was raised by the same old songs My mother used to sing when she was young In our house, Dolly was the Queen And Elvis, he was King Johnny, Willy, Kris, and Merle Were the best damn teachers a boy could have But the truth be told, it was Patsy and Tammy Who made me the man I am All through the years, I've heard it all Even went to the dark side of Rock and Roll But I came back around to where it all began, yeah 'Cause this is who I am This is how I'm made I got country music runnin' through my veins Like it or not, take it or leave it I don't give a damn 'Cause this is who I am This is who I am This is who I am (this is who I am) Well, the nineties came with a brand-new wave And the sound of country was never the same One man took to the sky like a one way rocket to the moon With songs like the "Dance" and "Baton Rouge", yeah "Friends In Low Places" just to name a few Well, I'm sorry mama, but Garth will always be king to me All through the years, I've heard it all Even went to the dark side of Rock and Roll But I came back around to where it all began 'Cause this is who I am This is how I'm made I got country music runnin' through my veins Like it or not, take it or leave it I don't give a damn 'Cause this is who I am This is who I am Yeah, I'm proud as hell To be a country boy Like my father and his father before 'Cause this is who I am This is how I'm made I got country music runnin' through my veins Like it or not, take it or leave it I don't give a damn 'Cause this is who I am This is who I am This is how I'm made I've got country music runnin' through my veins Like it or not, take it or leave it I don't give a damn 'Cause this is who I am This is who I am (woah, woah) This is who I am (woah, woah) This is who I am (woah, woah) This is who I am (woah, woah) This is who I am
