     A                    D
When I was sixteen I had running back dreams
     A                 D
but never did run too far
        A                       D
Thought I was gonna be number three one day
         A                   D
'til I wrecked my old man's car
  A                D
I almost finished college
      A                     D
but I ain't cut from that cloth
                 F#m E D
I used to wish I was
                  A
but I'm glad I'm not

Chorus:
A                D        A
I'm just an ol' Carolina good
              D                A
ol' boy, boys I ain't got no choice
                 D
I pick a little guitar in the evenin'
A               D
wear Mossy Oak outta deer season
A             D            A
I wouldn't be anybody but me
            D
even if I tried
                 F#m E D
I used to wish I was
                  A
but I'm glad I'm not

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
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 - x2

Yeah, I'm glad I'm not
