Not Me

(feat. Vince Gill & Emmylou Harris)
No one raised their hand that day when they asked for volunteers.
He got picked out by default he was the only daddy there.
They said we know what you're thinking
Choose someone else instead but this league is built on coaches
who stood right there and said...
Not Me not me no way with this job of mine i could never find the time not me not me
The world becomes a better place when
someone stands and leads the way steps forward when they'd rather say not me
The judge says you're the oldest may choose a legal guardian
I'm sorry that you lost your folks but theres no next of kin
Two brothers and a sister she knew how hard it would be but she softly said
I'll raise them while a voice inside her screamed....
Not me Not me I can't believe what's happening
This isn't how it's supposed to be Not me not me
The world becomes a better place when someone stands
and leads the way steps forward when they'd rather say not me
A young captain at attention, a star pin on his chest
He recalls the battle while the final roll call's read
They were the finest soldiers it was my priviledge to lead
They deserve the medals the men who died not me
Not me not me I just did what i was called to do you'd do the same if it was you
Not me not me
The world becomes a better place when someone stands
and leads the way steps forward when they'd rather say not me
Yeah steps forward when they'd rather say Not me
Not me
Not me
