Who I've Always Been

You walk in here with your guitar man

Shinning boots and your full on band

Smile on your face and a knife your hand

Singing songs you got memorized

With what ever talent money buys

So polished that it slips right through your hands

But don't ruin yourself I ain't your competition

Don't flatter yourself that was never my intention

I wanna talk about what you are I ain't

Let's talk about what you do that I can't

Let's talk about me and you and an empty room and who wins

Let's talk about what you did to get here

Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears

Let's talk about what you wanna be and who I've always been

......

I walk in here with a beat up case, the same guitar I've always played

And the words I wrote down on a page,

When I was 12 years old small town raised

You tell the crowd you're payin dues, I've tell them this is what I do

And it's what I put my life into, as I breathe the smoke and cheap perfume

And say life on musical road is rough conditions

But the easy ride was never my ambition

Wanna talk about it what you are I ain't

Let's talk about what you do that I can't

Let's talk about me and you and an empty room and who wins

Let's talk about what you did to get here

Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears

Let's talk about what you wanna be and who I've always been

......

Let's talk about your child hood days

With a prom queen I was on the stage

So where's that crown gotten you these days

When it's me and you and the same damn games

So what have you got that I ain't

What do you do that I can't

Let's put me and you in an empty room and see who wins

Let's talk about what you did to get here

Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears

Let's talk about what you wanna be girl,

who I've always been
