If I told you just how good you looked
As you buttoned up your jeans you'd never understood
You
would've hung around and fell in love
Tried to tie me down then run around so just go have your fun
'Cause I'm my
own man and I've got news for you
That's just the life my heroes sang their way through
With good country music, cold beer and a crowded rowdy bar
Not a house full of in-laws asking what my intentions are
Drink up your every dime and live up your lifetime
Sit
here and abuse it with good country music
Don't even ask me for my phone number
Or the reason that we
can't be seen together
Just a goodbye kiss as I kiss your ass goodbye
Right or wrong it's time to move along onto
some other guy
'Cause I'm my own man and I've got news for you
Them old cheatin' songs I grew up on taught me a
thing or two
Chorus
'Cause I'm my own man and I've got news for you
Better stop before
you start, you won't break my heart thanks to
Good country music, cold beer and a crying steel guitar
Twin
fiddles and white noise help to avoid a broken heart
'Cause loving too long makes for a sad country song
And my
heroes proved it with good country music
