[Intro]
Am G D/F#
Am F G
[Verse]
Am G D/F#
I grew up on the edge of a cornfield at the end of a long dirt road
Am F G
Carolina plow boy, ain't had a free summer since I was ten years old
Am G D/F#
Mama made us pick our own switches so we could feel the sting of doin' wrong
F G
That set me straight on the road I'm still on
[Chorus]
Am
I am who I am
C D
The product of a good woman loved by a real good man
Am
I've learned what I've learned
F G
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
Am
I love what I love
C D
I ain't afraid to say it ‘cause I'm damn sure man enough
F G N.C Am F G
That's what you need to see to get a picture of me
[Verse]
Am G D/F#
I grew up on gospel ‘cause that's all my daddy'd listen to
Am F G
I found my soul in rock and roll when me and my first guitar were introduced
Am
Truth is I've only loved one woman
G D/F#
And she'd have stayed, but I made her leave
F G
She's still hauntin' me in every song I sing
[Chorus]
Am
I am who I am
C D
The product of a woman still loved by a stubborn man
Am
I've learned what I've learned
F G
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
Am
I love what I love

I'm a long way from Jesus, but I know He knows I'm doing the best I can
[Chorus]
Am
I am who I am
C D
The product of the good Lord lovin' a sinful man
Am
I've learned what I've learned
F G
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
Am
I love what I love

That's what you need to see to get a picture of me
