Everybody Wants to Be Me Lyrics

Well everybody sees me being a blinin' country rok star
Drivin' downtown poundin' honky tonk sounds in my bandit car
They didn't know me back then '92, with my pawn-shop guitar
And the holes in my boots
Didn't see what I had to go through
All the beatin's I took, just a payin' my dues, and now

Everybody wants to be me
But the don't wabt to bruise and they Don't want to bleed
Want to spend all the money, hung up all the honeys
And try to get their fortune for free
Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be
Now but everybody wants, everybody want to be me

Well there's a camera ub ny face nearly everyday
Anbd I just got to grin
They take my country-boy views make it big city news
And I just take it on the chin
'Cause when you're playin' at tge top of your game
When the phone's always ringin' and they're droppin' names
But the second that you start to fall
Hey nobody cares and nobody calls, but

Everybody wants to be me
But the don't wabt to bruise and they Don't want to bleed
Want to spend all the money, hung up all the honeys
And try to get their fortune for free
Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be
Now but everybody wants, everybody want to be me

Well everybody wants to be me
But they don't want to bruise and they don't want to bleed
Want to spend all the monry, hug up all the honeys
Try to get their fortune for free

Everybody wants to be me
But the don't wabt to bruise and they Don't want to bleed
Want to spend all the money, hung up all the honeys
And try to get their fortune for free
Don't want to do what it takes to be what they want to be
Now but everybody wants, everybody want to be me

Everybody wants
I said everybody wants, everybody wants to be me
Yeah they want to be me
Yes they do
Everybody wants to be me

John Rich (born in Amarillo, Texas on January 7, 1974) is a member of the country music duo Big & Rich. Rich graduated in Dickson County, Tennessee and after graduation moved to Nashville where he worked at Opryland USA singing. Not long after he met up with the group Texasee. After hundreds of shows the band changed it's name to Lonestar. While in Lonestar, Rich was the bassist and, on some occasions, the lead singer (one of the band's singles, "Heartbroke Every Day," featured his lead vocals). In January 1998 Lonestar annouced on their web site that Rich was leaving the band to pursue a solo career. To this day, it is widely speculated that Rich was fired for what is known as his undesirable cocky attitude. After this, Rich became a solo artist with BNA Records, but his albums were never released. In 2006, after forming Big & Rich, "Underneath the Same Moon" was finally released.

When Lonestar's "Come Cryin To Me" went to #1 in 1997, John became the youngest songwriter to have a #1 song. John Rich is also a notable songwriter, having written 900+ songs to date, many of which have been recored by Faith Hill, Jason Aldean, Gretchen Wilson, Cowboy Troy, Keith Anderson and many more.
