lyrics

Be Myself
Writer: Kevin P. Stonerock

I’ve been pushed and I’ve been pulled
Since my first day on the scene
Spent my youth so confused
Chasing someone else’s dream

But now that I am older I find
That I ain’t got that kind of time

Why would I want to be someone else
When I could just go on and be myself?
Why should I even care what they may say?
They never really got me anyway

Too much folk, too much rock and roll
Entirely too much country either way
Why should I waste my time
On those who won’t give me the time of day

Could be that I’ll meet my Waterloo
At least I’ll still be in my own canoe

Why would I want to be someone else
When I could just go on and be myself
Why should I even care what they may say
They never really got me anyway

I remember those immortal words
That Ricky Nelson said
You can’t please everyone
So please yourself instead

Why would I want to be someone else
When I could just go on and be myself
Why should I even care what they may say
They never really got me anyway
They never really got me anyway
