Just the Way I Am - Michael Ray

Now slow it on down and wave at a passer-by

say I love you, instead of saying goodbye

Ain’t looking for

I got too much pride

Hey, I’m the kind of guy

That likes the simple life, mmh

The only suit and tie I own

Is for when heaven calls somebody home

I’m a cross around my neck

I’m a hard to keep my temper in check

I’m a night you might regret

I’m that time that you’ll never forget

I’m that, «Hey, can I get a cigarette?»

How much you wanna bet I’ma get her

She’s just playing hard to get, man

Hey man, raise a hand on a Sunday

That’s just the way I am

Hey man, give a damn from the country

That’s just the way I am

Yeah, might cuss a little more than I probably should

I’m a poor man’s Hemingway back in the woods

I take a little while to get to know

But once you know me then you know

That I’m the kind of guy, hey

always down to ride

I’ll be a good old boy to the bone

Till the good Lord calls me home

I’m a cross around my neck

I’m a hard to keep my temper in check

I’m a night you might regret

I’m that time that you’ll never forget

I’m that, «Hey, can I get a cigarette?»

How much you wanna bet I’ma get her

She’s just playing hard to get, man

Hey man, raise a hand on a Sunday

That’s just the way I am

Hey man, give a damn from the country

That’s just the way I am

I’m the salt on my collar

Working hard on a dollar

Friday night hoot and holler

Kind of guy from out yonder

I’m a beer off a backroad

Fishing with a cane pole

Smoking on some yeah

I’m a cross around my neck

I’m a cross around my neck

I’m a hard to keep my temper in check

I’m a night you might regret

I’m that time that you’ll never forget

I’m that, «Hey, can I get a cigarette?»

How much you wanna bet I’ma get her

She’s just playing hard to get, man

Hey man, raise a hand on a Sunday

That’s just the way I am

Hey man, give a damn from the country

That’s just the way I am
