Well everybody sees me being a blinin' country rok star

Drivin' downtown poundin' honky tonk sounds in my bandit car

They didn't know me back then '92, with my pawn-shop guitar

And the holes in my boots

Didn't see what I had to go through

All the beatin's I took, just a payin' my dues, and now

Everybody wants to be me

But the don't wabt to bruise and they Don't want to bleed

Want to spend all the money, hung up all the honeys

And try to get their fortune for free

Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be

Now but everybody wants, everybody want to be me

Well there's a camera ub ny face nearly everyday

Anbd I just got to grin

They take my country-boy views make it big city news

And I just take it on the chin

'Cause when you're playin' at tge top of your game

When the phone's always ringin' and they're droppin' names

But the second that you start to fall

Hey nobody cares and nobody calls, but

Everybody wants to be me

But the don't wabt to bruise and they Don't want to bleed

Want to spend all the money, hung up all the honeys

And try to get their fortune for free

Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be

Now but everybody wants, everybody want to be me

Well everybody wants to be me

But they don't want to bruise and they don't want to bleed

Want to spend all the monry, hug up all the honeys

Try to get their fortune for free

Everybody wants to be me

But the don't wabt to bruise and they Don't want to bleed

Want to spend all the money, hung up all the honeys

And try to get their fortune for free

Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be

Now but everybody wants, everybody want to be me

Everybody wants

I said everybody wants, everybody wants to be me

Yeah they want to be me

Yes they do

Everybody wants to be me
