That Just Wouldn't Be Me

That Just Wouldn't Be Me Lyrics

(Sam Tate/Annie Tate/Dan Colehour)


I ain't gonna change better give up hope

I'm one of those guys who'll never be pope

I'd hang myself with a little more rope

From the nearest family tree


I guess I broke my daddy's heart

When I dropped the plow picked up this guitar

He wanted to leave me the family farm

But that just wouldn't be me


No, na na na na na

That just wouldn't be me

It might be all right for some other guy

But that just wouldn't be me


I got this friend, he's a pretty nice guy

Wears Italian suits and power ties

Bought a German car and a trophy wife

And his favorite color's green


He wants to teach me bout bonds and stocks

So I can own a little piece of the rock

Hell I don't even own two matching socks

That just wouldn't be me


No, na na na na na

That just wouldn't be me

It might be all right for some other guy

But that just wouldn't be me


One of these days I just might settle down

Buy a little house in a little town

Get a wife and kids make my mama proud


No, na na na na na

That just wouldn't be me

It might be all right for some other guy

But that just wouldn't be me


But that just wouldn't be me
