All That I Am
Daddy couldn't find many words to say
The day I turned his old job down
After all the years of schooling
He said I need you to stick around
But I couldn't stay and do things his way
Cause I had my own dreams to follow
Mama helped me pack everything I had
In a warn out duffel bag
She said I hope you know what you're doing
Then turned and looked at dad
You'll never make a living
With a guitar in your hand
I said I hope you're wrong, please try and understand
That's all that I am
That's all that I know
That's all that I feel down deep in my soul
So I sure hope the music makes the man
That's all that I am
That was so many years ago
And through all the ups and downs
I stayed true to myself
And I never turned around
Now when I play close to home
My folks come out to see
The man the music's made of me
That's all that I am
That's all that I know
That's all that I feel down deep in my soul
So I sure hope the music makes the man
That's all that I am
That's all that I am
The day I turned his old job down
After all the years of schooling
He said I need you to stick around
But I couldn't stay and do things his way
Cause I had my own dreams to follow
Mama helped me pack everything I had
In a warn out duffel bag
She said I hope you know what you're doing
Then turned and looked at dad
You'll never make a living
With a guitar in your hand
I said I hope you're wrong, please try and understand
That's all that I am
That's all that I know
That's all that I feel down deep in my soul
So I sure hope the music makes the man
That's all that I am
That was so many years ago
And through all the ups and downs
I stayed true to myself
And I never turned around
Now when I play close to home
My folks come out to see
The man the music's made of me
That's all that I am
That's all that I know
That's all that I feel down deep in my soul
So I sure hope the music makes the man
That's all that I am
That's all that I am
