Anything Outside

But what if I'm just a hundred percent me
Doing exactly what I want, and I'm just living my life
Like I'm only listening to me, myself and I

Let me take you back
Summer break, driving to the lake with my dad
George Strait CD all we had
We played Amarillo by Morning
Until it stopped working

Then one Christmas day
I got an iPod Shuffle
We going out to settle with my older brother
That's when we found Justin Timberlake
Knew every lyric the next day

So when I started making music
It was something in between
People didn't get what I was doing
Saying it's too country for pop
And too pop for country

But what if I'm just a hundred percent me
Doing exactly what I want, and I'm just living my life?
Like I'm only listening to me, myself and I
Yeah, I'm gonna stay on my own path, never look back
Only listen to the voice that's in my mind
Yeah, I think it's time to stop giving a shit
About anything outside

I can hear 'em now
"Oh my God, he's rapping"
"He just built his own country music casket"
"That shit'll never get played on the radio"
"His dreams of playing in a stadium, there they go"

But guess what, this is the real me
I wanna be authentic and tell my stories
And I'm not afraid of a bass drop mixed with a banjo
Even if it does flop

'Cause it's a hundred percent me
Doing exactly what I want, and I'm just living my life?
Like I'm only listening to me, myself and I
Yeah, I'm gonna stay on my own path, never look back
Only listen to the voice that's in my mind
Yeah, I think it's time to stop giving a shit
About anything outside
About anything, about anything outside

So if you're listening to this
Feeling like you've got no options left
I hope this gives you the courage to ditch
What anybody else thinks
And just ask yourself

What if I'm just a hundred percent me
Doing exactly what I want, and I'm just living my life?
Like I'm only listening to me, myself and I
Yeah, I'm gonna stay on my own path, never look back
Only listen to the voice that's in my mind
I think it's time to stop giving a shit
About anything outside
About anything, about anything outside, yeah
