Verse I
Well I C know a lotta' people F just like me
Who C love to gather 'round on F Crystal Beach
And C we'll do damned G well as we C please
There'll C always be somebody with F somethin' to say
A- C - bout the way you choose to F spend your days
And C those are the ones who are G just afraid to be C free
They tell ya' C he did this, they say F she did that
But C like ol' Merle I wear my F own kinda hat
If C you don't like it you can G move on down the C line
Don't C really care whatcha F say about me
C I get along by my- F -self you see
And C you can do better than to G try and waste my C time
Chorus
I'm a C Texas born F bonafide hell- G -raiser and I do as I C please
Gonna' F lay around 'til the G sun goes down in this warm southern C breeze
C Hey if ya' wanna' F pass me a Corona G I got the salt and C lime
Got F nowhere else I'd G rather be, I'm just livin on G Buffett C Time
Verse II
C Some folks say I got a F bad attitude
I've C always been one to sing my F own kinda tune
C I don't do what G every one expects of me
C I ramble around from F town to town
C When it's time to leave F I ain't wearin' a frown
C Pack up my gui- G -tar and I C leave
Well if C you don't like me then F that's your loss
But C over my life I'm the F one that's boss
I C try to do what I G think is right at the C time
I'm gonna C be myself 'cause F that's who I am
And if C you don't like it I don't F give a damn
C Like that ol' song I'm G gonna let my little light C shine
