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'
'Til 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
