Was gonna write a song about trains
but that's already been done
gonna write about coal miners
but I ain't ever been one
gonna write one about whiskey and beer
or one where you're there and I'm stuck here
but that's been done so one thing's clear
it's time to write a song about me
Gonna write a song about me me man
I'm gonna write a song about me
show some unconventionality
I'm gonna write a song about me
I'm gonna write a song about me
Was gonna write a song about the president
but that's already been done
but I was never good at dissent
and I don't even own a gun
maybe a tune to get you by my side
or one where we both take a ride
but it's old always being the maid of the bride
so it's time to write a song about me
Gonna write a song about me me man
I'm gonna write a song about me
show some unconventionality
I'm gonna write a song about me
I'm gonna write a song about me
maybe wax poetic about my smile
or get the girl and hold her awhile
I'm a hard rocking daddy from a little town
come to burn all the bad guys down
I'm gonna write a song about me
Gonna write a song for the radio
but that's already been done
find Murray the K and grease his palm
then spend it all on the run
find me a girl buck naked writhing on the ground
prop her up and teach her my sound
but to decorum am I bound
so it's time to write a song about me
maybe wax poetic about my smile
or get the girl and hold her awhile
I'm a hard rocking daddy from a little town
come to burn all the bad guys down
I'm gonna write a song about me
