Jefferson Montoya Bein' Me lyrics

I'm not settin the world on fire,
And I'm too old for American Idol.
And I don't look or dress like some celebrity,
But I don't mind what I see.

And besides, I'm alright with being me.

I know my songs have never been,
A perfect fit for the box that they're crammed in.
I'm not quite rock, not quite pop, not quite country,
But it still sounds good to me.

And besides, I'm alright with being me.

It means I don't have to go where every songwriter has been.
Don't need the same worn out tone on my guitar again.
Bein me means I don't owe nobody anything,

And the only reason I need to sing is to sing.

I'm not settin the world on fire,
And I'm too old for American Idol.
And I'm not Nickelback, or Fallout Boy or Creed,
But that's not what I need.

And besides, I'm alright. . .
Yeah I sleep ok at night...
And I know I'll have my time. . .
I say I'm doin' fine being me.

I'm not settin the world on fire,
But, hey, screw the idol.
