[Verse 1]
A G
Well everybody sees me being a blingin' country rock star
G
Drivin' downtown poundin' honky tonk sounds in my bandit car
A G D G
They didn't know me back in '92, with my pawn-shop guitar
A
And the holes in my boots
G
Didn't see what I had to go through
D
All the beatin's I took, just a payin' my dues, and now
[Chorus]
A G D
Everybody wants to be me
A G
But the don't want to bruise and they don't want to bleed
A G
Want to spend all the money, hug up all the honeys
D
And try to get their fortune for free
A G D
Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be
A G D
No but everybody wants, everybody wants to be me,
N.C.
Yeah they do
[Verse 2]
D A G
Well there's a camera in ny face nearly everyday
D
And I just got to grin
A G
They take my country-boy views make it big city news
D
And I just take it on the chin
A G
'Cause when you're playin' at tge top of your game
D
When the phone's always ringin' and they're droppin' your name
A G
But the second that you start to fall
D
Hey nobody cares and nobody calls, but
[Chorus]
A G D
Everybody wants to be me
A G
But they don't want to bruise and they don't want to bleed
A G
Want to spend all the money, hug up all the honeys
D
And try to get their fortune for free
A G D
Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be
A G D
No but everybody wants, everybody want to be me
