Who I've Always Been
[00:08.45] You walk in here with your guitar man
[00:10.95] Your shining boots and your full on band
[00:13.95] A smile on your face, a knife in your hand
[00:19.95] Singing songs you've got memorized
[00:22.70] With whatever talent money buys
[00:25.45] So polished that it slips right through your hands
[00:31.45] But don't ruin yourself I ain't your competition
[00:37.20] Don't flatter yourself that was never my intention
[00:42.20] I wanna talk about what you are that I ain't
[00:45.45] Let's talk about what you do that I can't
[00:48.45] Let's talk about me and you and that empty room and who wins
[00:53.70] Let's talk about what you did to get here
[00:56.95] Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
[00:59.95] Let's talk about what you want to be and who I've always been
[01:09.64] I walk in here with a beat up case
[01:12.15] The same guitar I've always played
[01:14.89] And the words i wrote down on a page,
[01:17.90] When i was 12 years old a small town raised
[01:20.64] You tell the crowd you're paying dues,
[01:23.64] I tell them, "this is what I do"
[01:26.39] And it’s what i put my life into,
[01:29.40] As I breathe the smoke and cheap perfume
[01:32.39] And say life on musical road is rough conditions
[01:37.65] But the easy ride was never my ambition
[01:43.14] I wanna talk about what you are that I ain't
[01:46.89] Let's talk about what you do that I can't
[01:49.64] Let's talk about me and you and that empty room and who wins
[01:54.89] Let's talk about what you did to get here
[01:58.14] Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
[02:01.15] Let's talk about what you want to be and who I've always been
[02:19.40] Let's talk about your childhood days
[02:21.64] You were the prom queen, I was on this stage
[02:24.64] So where's that crown gotten you these days?
[02:27.65] When it's me and you and the same damn games
[02:30.64] So what have you got that I ain't?
[02:33.40] And what can you do that I can't?
[02:36.39] Let's put me and you in an empty room and see who wins
[02:41.39] Let's talk about what you did to get here
[02:44.65] Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
[02:47.64] Let's talk about what you wanna be, girl, and who I've always been
