People ask me why I like country music. All I do is start singing...

"I met a guy on the red-eye,
He spotted my guitar an' said: "What do you do?"
I said: "I sing for a livin',
"Country music mixed with a little rock an' 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 lovin' and livin',
An' 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 an' broken hearts, I saw him:
He was standin' there right next to the stage,
An' he shouted: "Man you were right, it was like you sang:

Those songs about me,
And who I am.
Songs about lovin' and livin',
An' good hearted women, family and God.
Yeah, they're all just songs about me:
Songs about me, yeah.

So I'll just keep on singin',
Till I hear the whole world singing:

Those are songs about me,
And who I am.
Songs about lovin' and livin',
An' good hearted women, family and God.
Yeah, they're all just songs about me:
Songs about me."
