[Intro]
Aw, yeah

[Verse 1]
Might slow it on down and wave at a passerby
Hug your neck, say I love you 'stead of saying goodbye
Ain't looking for one, but won't run from a fight
Got too much pride

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, I'm the kind of guy
That likes a simple life, mmm
The only suit and tie I own
Is for when Heaven calls somebody home (Let's go)

[Chorus]
I'm a cross around my neck
I'm a hard to keep my temper in check
I'm a night you might regret
I'm a time that you'll never forget
I'm a, "Hey, can I get a cigarette?"
How much you wanna bet I'ma get her?
She's just playing hard to get, man
Amen, raise a hand on a Sunday
That's just the way I am
Hey, man, give a damn, from the country
That's just the way I am
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I might cuss a little more than I probably should
I'm a poor man's Hemingway back in the woods
I take a little while to get to know
But once you know me, then you know

[Pre-Chorus]
That I'm the kind of guy (Hey)
That's always down to ride or drive
Be a good old boy to the bone
'Til the good Lord calls me home

[Chorus]
I'm a cross around my neck
I'm a hard to keep my temper in check
I'm a night you might regret
I'm a time that you'll never forget
I'm a, "Hey, can I get a cigarette?"
How much you wanna bet I'ma get her?
She's just playing hard to get, man
Amen, raise a hand on a Sunday
That's just the way I am
Hey, man, give a damn, from the country
That's just the way I am

[Bridge]
I'm a salt on my collar
Working hard for a dollar
Friday night, hoot and holler
Kind of guy from out yonder
Beer off a backroad
Fishing with a cane pole
Smokin' on some on some hand-rolled, yeah
I'm a cross around my neck (Yeah)
[Chorus]
I'm a cross around my neck
I'm a hard to keep my temper in check
I'm a night you might regret
I'm that time that you'll never forget
I'm a, "Hey, can I get a cigarette?"
How much you wanna bet I'ma get her?
She's just playing hard to get, man
Amen, raise a hand on a Sunday
That's just the way I am
Hey, man, give a damn, from the country
That's just the way I am

[Outro]
That's just the way I am
