    Story Behind the Song
    Was stuck in Centennial Park (Nashville, TN) wondering what I was doing there. Then it hit me...

    Lyrics
    Out on the road for eight days heading south
    Me, two guitars and Jimsey too
    Steve in Chillicothe really made us proud
    Sure did stuff us full of food
    Monday night I was at the Blue Bird Cafe
    They even let me sing a song or two
    The crowd sure was nice, but it was a jury of my peers
    I wonder if they noticed my guitar was out of tune
    Now don't get me wrong Nashville is a beautiful city
    And the folks are awfully kind to you
    And let me tell guys, the girl down there sure a pretty
    but I don't think that's where I'm gonna move
    'Cause every one's a song writer in Nashville
    And every one's an actor in LA
    Me, I'm just a guy who wants to make some people smile
    I guess I'll have to do it my own way
    You say you're thinking about me and my only retort is
    That thinking doesn't really take much effort
    Maybe if we decided to move into each others general direction
    There wouldn't be this world of loneliness and hurt
    You'd be my thug queen and I'd be your responsible rebel boy
    But I don't think things would be ok
    I'm everywhere I should be and no where I wanna be
    And until I get to that point this is where I'm gonna stay
    'Cause every one's a gambler in Las Vegas
    And everyone in San Francisco's gay
    Me, I'm just a guy who has to find some peace of mind
    I guess I'll have to find her my own way
    You may laugh at me and say that I'm wrong
    Cause I don't live my life your way
    Well my many years of playing sure has made me strong
    And I don't give a damn about what you say
    I've fallen off that horse many many times before
    And I just pick myself up again
    Music is my life, the rest are just the details
    And I'll get there, I just don't know when
    Cause everybody's happy who lives in Portland
    And Toronto puts a smile on my face
    Me, I'm just a guy who needs to feel he's worth his while
    I guess I'll have to do it my own way
    Every one's a rancher in Amarillo
    And in Seattle it just rains every day
    Me I wanna see my dreams come true once in a while
    I guess I'll have to do it my own way
