[Verse 1]
It ain't the number on a barbell or the notches on your belt
Not the stack of twelve ounce curl PBRs that you're givin' hell
It ain't the locker-room talk or the shiner on your eye
Not the pat on your back when your old man asks ya
"How'd you leave the other guy?"
That makes you a man, hard to understand

[Chorus]
You're the pretty boy, the funny boy
The trumpet in a marchin' band real McCoy
The skinny kid that don't fit in
You've always been a little bit different
Gotta sing your song in the middle of all that noise
Being strong ain't so prеtty boy

[Verse 2]
So you're not the quarterback, coal rollin' in a truck that's jackеd
Not tough enough 'cause you don't have a buck with enough points on a rack
No, it ain't all that

[Chorus]
You're the pretty boy, the funny boy
The trumpet in a marchin' band real McCoy
The skinny kid that don't fit in
You've always been a little bit different
Gotta sing your song in the middle of all that noise
Being strong ain't so pretty boy
Oh-oh, it ain't so pretty boy, ooh
[Bridge]
They say it's a negative
That you're sensitive
But mama always said that that's a positive

[Chorus 2]
So take the high road, hold onto hope
Beat to your own drummer, let it fill your soul
Stay humble kid, you won't fit in
You'll always be a little different
So sing your song in the middle of all that noise
Yeah, sing that song in the middle of that noise

[Outro]
Stay strong, pretty boy
