When I was sixteen I had running back dreams
That never did run too far
Thought I was gonna be number three one day
Till I wrecked my old man’s car
I almost finished college but I ain’t cut from that cloth
Used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not
I'm just an North Carolina good ole boy
Boys, I ain’t got no choice
I pick a little guitar in the evenin'
Wear Mossy Oak outta deer season
I couldn’t be anybody but me, even if I tried
I used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not
I used to have a Tennessee Bill Dance hat
But barely ever got ’em in the boat
I used to wanna hit ’em like Chipper did
But I swung it just a little too slow
But these days I don’t wanna be anybody but me
Used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not
I'm just an North Carolina good ole boy
Boys, I ain’t got no choice
I pick a little guitar in the evenin'
Wear Mossy Oak outta deer season
I couldn’t be anybody but me, even if I tried
Used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not
Yeah, these days I don’t wanna be anybody but me
I used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not
I'm just an North Carolina good ole boy
Boys, I ain’t got no choice
I pick a little guitar in the evenin'
Wear Mossy Oak outta deer season
I couldn’t be anybody but me, even if I tried
Used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not
Yeah, I'm glad I'm not
