I wasn’t made for your skinny jeans
I ain’t Nashville’s type of star
I’m just an Irish kid from Boston town
Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.
My Red Sox cap, it ain’t new like yours
Neither is this old guitar.
But they were there, they picked up dorm room scars
The night Papi broke the curse
I ain’t changing who I am
Just to make myself a name
I write this songs cause its who I am
I ain’t chasing your kind of fame.
So go dress it up,
Go look the part
You ain’t the one to blame
I submit, I give, you’ve got me beat,
Cause yours is a young man’s game.
I don’t write songs about Tequila
Come to think, neither do you.
Cause if I’m drinking it ain’t for show
It’s cause my buddies like drinking beer
These folks in here, who sing along
Know the girl to whom I’ll always be true
And they come to, to every show
Cause it’s cheaper than therapy.
I ain’t changing who I am
Just to make myself a name
I write this songs cause its who I am
I ain’t chasing your kind of fame.
So go dress it up,
Go look the part
You ain’t the one to blame
I submit, I give, you’ve got me beat,
Cause yours is a young man’s game.
Now fame and glory, you might find
Singing songs that you’ve never lived
But hands down I’ll take going home to mine
All tucked up in their beds
I ain’t changing who I am
Just to make myself a name
I write this songs cause its who I am
I ain’t chasing your kind of fame.
So go dress it up,
Go look the part
You ain’t the one to blame
I submit, I give, you’ve got me beat,
Cause yours is a young man’s game.
