[Verse 1]
T-shirt, blue jeans
Don't like much on TV
Caviar and a Triscut
Aren't non Redeye gravy on a biscuit
My deep Southern drawl
Makes the conversation crawl
You're going to have to hang around
Long enough to hear me out
Some folks aren't happy like they are
Some want to take things just a little too far

[Chorus]
Singers want to be Hollywood actors
And millionaires want to ride
Old farm tractors
I am just what I am
I'm just what you see
So I'll make it easy
I'll stay me

[Verse 2]
My granny and pawpaw
Still missing Hee Haw
And I love my little town
Where the people don't let you down
There's a girl down the street
Got a kiss just waiting on me
Hot dog sweet potato fries
When I go over tonight
She knows exactly who I am
A soft touching her love loving
Hardworking man

[Bridge]
Quarterbacks want to play lead guitar
And supermodels want smaller body parts
Change is good sometimes
But I still believe
I'm going to make it easy
I'll stay me

[Chorus]
Yeah singers want to be
Hollywood actors
And millionaires want to ride
Old farm tractors
I am just what I am
I'm just what you see
So I'll make it easy
I'll stay me

[Outro]
I'll stay me, I'm going to make it easy
I'll stay me

Thomas Luther “Luke” Bryan was born July 17, 1976 in Leesburg, Georgia, to Tommy and LeClaire Watkins Bryan. His parents also raised him in Leesburg. At age 14, his parents bought him his first guitar, and after learning to play it, he joined various local bands and began to play in local clubs. After graduating Lee County High School, Bryan planned to move to Nashville, Tennessee; however, this move was delayed, due to the death of his brother, Chris, in a car accident, on the same day he planned to leave. Luke attended Georgia Southern University, and is a member of the Eta Zeta chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. After graduation Luke went to work for his dad, despite everyone encouraging him to move to Tennessee. His dad encouraged him to relocate and he arrived in Nashville in 2001, signing a record deal only two months later. The 6'01/2" singer-songwriter married Caroline Boyer on December 8, 2006. The couple have two sons. Thomas “Bo” Boyer Bryan was born March 18, 2008 and Tatum “Tate” Christopher Bryan was born August 11, 2010. Luke’s nephew Tilden “Til” Cheshire also lives with the Bryan’s, after his mother (Luke’s older sister, Kelly) died in 2007 and his father died in 2014. Among the songs Luke is known for are “Drunk on You” and “Someone Else Calling You Baby”.
