I grew up on the edge of a cornfield At the end of a long dirt road Carolina plow boy Ain't had a free summer since I was ten years old Mama made us pick our own switches So we could feel the sting of doin' wrong That set me straight on the road I'm still on I am who I am The product of a good woman loved by a real good man I've learned what I've learned By findin' the right way in all of my wrong turns I love what I love I ain't afraid to say it 'cause I'm damn sure man enough That's what you need to see to get a picture of me I grew up on gospel 'cause that's all my daddy'd listen to I found my soul in rock and roll When me and my first guitar were introduced Truth is I've only loved one woman And she'd have stayed, but I made her leave She's still hauntin' me in every song I sing I am who I am The product of a woman still loved by a stubborn man I've learned what I've learned By findin' the right way in all of my wrong turns I love what I love I ain't afraid to say it 'cause I'm damn sure man enough That's what you need to see to get a picture of me Like me or leave me Either way you know it the second you shake my hand I'm a long way from Jesus But I know He knows I'm doin' the best I can I am who I am The product of the good Lord lovin' a sinful man I've learned what I've learned By findin' the right way in all of my wrong turns I love what I love I ain't afraid to say it 'cause I'm damn sure man enough That's what you need to see That's what you need to see to get a picture of me
