I met a guy on a red eye
He spotted my guitar
And said, "what do you do?"
I said, "I sing for a living
Country music mixed with a little rock and a little blues"
He said, "I'm sorry but I've never been crazy
'Bout that twang and trains and hillbilly thing
What ever made you want to sing stuff like that?"
I just looked at him and laughed and said

'Cause they're songs about me
And who I am
Songs about loving and living
And good hearted women, family and God
Yeah, they're all just songs about me
Songs about me

So I offered him tickets
I said, "you'll see what I mean
If you show up tonight"
He said, "I doubt you'll change my opinion
I'll be kind of busy, but hey man, I'll try"

Then later on when we finished our songs
About scars and cars and broken hearts
I saw him, he was standing there
Right next to the stage
And he shouted
"Man you were right
It was like you sang those"

Songs about me
And who I am
Songs about loving and living
And good hearted women, family and God
Yeah, they're all just songs about me
Songs about me, yeah

So I'll just keep on singing
'Til I hear the whole world sayin' those are

Songs about me
And who I am
Songs about loving and living
And good hearted women, family and God
Yeah, they're all just songs about me
Songs about me
