[Verse 1]
When I was sixteen I had running back dreams
That never did run too far
Thought I was gonna be number three one day
'Til I wrecked my old man’s car
I almost finished college but I ain’t cut from that cloth
Used to wish I was, but I’m glad I’m not

[Chorus]
I’m just an North Carolina good ole boy
Boys, I ain’t got no choice
I pick a little guitar in the evenin'
Wear Mossy Oak outta deer season
I couldn’t be anybody but me, even if I tried
I used to wish I was, but I’m glad I’m not

[Verse 2]
I used to have a Tennessee Bill Dance hat
But barely ever got ’em in the boat
I used to wanna hit ’em like Chipper did
But I swung it just a little too slow
But these days I don’t wanna be anybody but me
Used to wish I was, but I’m glad I’m not

[Chorus]
I’m just an North Carolina good ole boy
Boys, I ain’t got no choice
I pick a little guitar in the evenin'
Wear Mossy Oak outta deer season
I couldn’t be anybody but me, even if I tried
Used to wish I was, but I’m glad I’m not

[Hook]
Yeah, these days I don’t wanna be anybody but me
I used to wish I was, but I’m glad I’m not

[Chorus]
I’m just an North Carolina good ole boy
Boys, I ain’t got no choice
I pick a little guitar in the evenin'
Wear Mossy Oak outta deer season
I couldn’t be anybody but me, even if I tried
Used to wish I was, but I’m glad I’m not
Yeah, I’m glad I’m not

Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Luke Combs has been a passionate vocalist and musician since a young age, having even performed a solo performance at Carnegie Hall while still in high school. After dabbling in country music during his time at Appalachian State University, he dropped out his senior year to pursue a music career.

In 2014 he released two EPs, The Way She Rides & Can I Get an Outlaw. However, garnered national attention later that year after the release of his first single “Hurricane” selling 15,000 copies within it’s first week.

In October 2016, Combs signed for Columbia Records Nashville. His first studio album This One’s For You was released in June 2017 and reached #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 Country Albums Chart and #5 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums. This album was re-released with additional unreleased tracks in 2018.
