I grew up on the edge of a cornfield at the end of a long dirt road
Carolina plow boy, aint 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 Im still on
I am who I am
The product of a good woman loved by a real good man
Ive learned what Ive learned
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
I love what I love
I aint afraid to say it cause Im damn sure man enough
Thats what you need to see to get a picture of me
I grew up on gospel cause thats all my daddyd listen to
I found my soul in rock and roll when me and my first guitar were introduced
Truth is Ive only loved one woman
And shed have stayed, but I made her leave
Shes still hauntin me in every song I sing
I am who I am
The product of a woman still loved by a stubborn man
Ive learned what Ive learned
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
I love what I love
I aint afraid to say it cause Im damn sure man enough
Thats 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
Im a long way from Jesus, but I know He knows Im doing the best I can
I am who I am
The product of the good Lord lovin a sinful man
Ive learned what Ive learned
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
I love what I love
I aint afraid to say it cause Im damn sure man enough
Thats what you need to see
Thats what you need to see to get a picture of me
