Lyrics
JUST BEIN' ME
Take a message down to my home town
Tell my lady that I'm comin' 'round
Tell her that I've found my soul again
And I ain't been feelin' this good
Since I don't know when
So many years in my own prison yeah
So many years of reckless livin' yeah
So many years I was a lonely man
But now I finally think I'm findin' out
Just who I am
So many people tried to help me take a stand
Well now, well now
I had to see it for myself
So many times I tried to run the other way
The more I ran the more my soul had to pay
Oh, no, you know I couldn't stay there
It hurt so bad because the blues don't care
I only had to face the boy inside
And tell him I'd protect him
If he'd come outside
(Repeat bridge)
Oh, no, I couldn't run from the pain
I didn't know I had so much to gain
By givin' up the things that I can't be
And now I'm feelin' better
Doin' better
Just bein' me
