Well I ain't young and I ain't pretty
I wasn't all that pretty when I was young
I ain't never been no Einstein
But ain't nobody ever called me dumb
I ain't much of a scrapper
You punch first I'll give you all I got
I ain't my Mama's favorite
She'll lie right to your face
And say I'm not
Well I did some time in college
Some time in jail and if felt about the same
I learned a lot more laying brick with Daddy
In the hot sun everyday
Then I learned to play this guitar
And it took me all around the world
I learned all I know about lovin'
From a little brown eyed Upshur County girl
But that's just me I'm a simple man
There's things I don't understand
I ain't no fan of high society
I like sittin' on an old porch swing
The girl I love up close to me
Wind chimes dancin' on the breeze
Just livin' right and being free
Maybe it's just me
I think boys are boys and girls are girls
And it ain't hard to tell
And for them that tell 'em otherwise
I think there's a special place in hell
I think they oughta get the golden rule
Common sense back in our schools
And make it common as it was back then
Think that'd go a long way
To making this country great again
But that's just me I'm a simple man
There's things I don't understand
I ain't no fan of high philosophy
And maybe I'm old fashioned but I wish
We could get back to doing things
A little more like they used to be
Just livin' right and being free
Maybe it's just me
I won't hate you if you disagree
Maybe it's just me
