William Clark Green - What It Takes To Be Me Lyrics
I bet you thought I was a better man
Now you know the truth
I been out singin' the songs
About the wrong I done
Guess it finally got through to you
She left her stain on the linens
I really thought you would never tell
No, I don't expect to be forgiven
'Cause I'm so wrapped up in myself
And I deserve everything for all the work I done
Even if I lose everybody that I ever loved
They just don't understand
What it takes to be me
And I don't know who they are
Probably my friends
I'm suspicious of everyone
I would give anything just for them to see
What it takes to be me
I don't know who I am anymore
Tell me what have I become
There is something I discovered
That attracts lots of lovers
While my wife and my kids are at home
You'd think I'd learn my lesson
Yeah, you'd think I'd stop runnin' around
Oh but every time that it happens
I tell myself that they'll never find out
And I deserve everything for all the work I done
Even if I lose everybody that I ever loved
They just don't understand
What it takes to be me
And I don't know who they are
But I will prove 'em wrong
Probably my friends
I'm suspicious of everyone
I would give anything just for them to see
What it takes to be me
And I deserve everything for all the work I done
Even if I lose everybody that I ever loved
They just don't understand
What it takes to be me
And I don't know who they are
But I will prove 'em wrong
Probably my friends
I'm suspicious of everyone
I would give anything just for them to see
What it takes to be me
To be me
Yeah
What it takes to be me

its a little selfish
good song/nice lyrics - but give the fiddle some credit too - i'm a sucker for throwing in a fiddle
I'm with you. This show us taped locally, it's kinda a song swap. that might not be his fiddler. I don't catch the show each week and don't remember this one.
I came across this song on ya'lls youtube channel. I am born and raised south Texas now living in Alberta Canada, and fighting personal demons yearning to be back home. I would LOVE to shake the hand of William Clark Green and his band. This song is deep on MANY levels. Thank You for this song.
that guitar sounds amazing
Awesome.
