You Gotta' Be Just Who You Are - Butch Walker

Welcome to life boy

I’m glad you’re here

One day we’ll sit down

Over a beer

I’ll tell you stories

Of who I was

Hope you won’t hate me

Like my daddy does

I’ll teach you tough love

I’ll teach you pride

We’ll keep things upfront

And never hide

I will remind you

Embrace the unknown

Form your opinions

And make them your own

You gotta' be just who you are

You gotta' be just who you are

Don’t let them sway you

No one can change you

You gotta' be just who you are

You gotta' look right through your heart

Cause it will guide you

To what’s inside you

I know you’re different

I’ve seen the signs

But please don’t think I’m bummed at all

My heart is blind

If your new boyfriend

Is good to you

That’s more than I can say for my folks

That ended poorly too

You’ll teach ME tough love

You’ll teach ME pride

We’ll keep things upfront

And never hide

You will remind me

Embrace the unknown

Form your opinions

Make them your own

You gotta' be just who you are

You gotta' be just who you are

Don’t let them sway you

No one can change you

You gotta' be just who you are

You gotta' look right through your heart

Cause it will guide you

To what’s inside you

Welcome to life boy

I’m glad you’re here

I’m glad we sat down

And had that beer

You’ll tell your stories

As an old man does

And hope you loved me

For who I was

You gotta' be just who you are

You gotta' be just who you are

Don’t let them sway you

No one can change you

You gotta' be just who you are

You gotta' look right through your heart

Cause it will guide you

To what’s inside you

You gotta' be just who you are

You gotta' be just who you are

Don’t let them sway you

No one can change you

You gotta' be just who you are

You gotta' look right through your heart

Cause it will guide you

To what’s inside you
