Am C F
Woah, oh, oh, oh-oh
Am F
Woah, oh, oh, oh-oh
A C F
Woah, oh, oh, oh-oh, Woah, oh
[Verse 1]
Am
They don't know me like they think they do, I ain't one for Hollywood
F
A lot of shoulda-wouldas walkin' 'round you when the money's good
Am G
And to me I ain't famous, I just made it 'cause I'm from the woods
F
If pop ain't used to my kind to me I think it's understood
Am
I already made a mark for every girl barrel racin'
F
Every boy slidin' across the hood, landin' on the pavement
Am G
Got nothin' to do with races unless it's racin' against myself
F
To dedicate my life to feelin' good and not devoid of wealth
Am
Go ahead, chase the paper, I'll take a walk to see the source
F
Take a field of flowers over camera flashes on board
Am A
But these snapshots are timeless like an Iris that don't die
F
So I smile and wave like flowers wavin' on edges of roadsides
[Chorus]
Am
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
C F
Still doin' my thing as the cars fly by
G Am C
All night, that's right
F
I'll get where I'm goin' with no hitchhike
G Am C
And don't worry 'bout me when the sun goes down
F G
I'll be somewhere whistlin' to my own sound
Am C
In my hometown, by my own self
F G
I'll get there, same shoes, no thumb out
[Verse 2]
Am Cm
It's not an everyday occurrence that I get to feel normal
F
People treat me like I'm royal, talk my head off with the courage
Am C
They done filled my tank so much that it's started overflowin'
F
I'm good at rappin', good at singin', thank you, thank you, yeah I know it
Am A
And my ego's still the same but my anxiety is potent
F
Cause I just wanna chill and be somebody nobody knows
Am G
And I'm so high I'm steady floatin', flickin' ashes down below me
F
Thinkin' 'bout the road I'm on, the speed limit's still wide open
Am
How long can I drive without plowin' in a tree
F
Knockin' my face off like my friend Charlene?
Am C
Tell me how I'm 'posed to be sane when the world is makin' me crazy?
F
The cities are set ablaze and the hatred is on the pavement
Am C
And every time you make a statement, motherfuckers wanna take it
F
There's another rapper like you bein' made at record labels
[Chorus]
Am C
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
F G
Still doin' my thing as the cars fly by
Am C
All night, that's right
F G
I'll get where I'm goin' with no hitchhike
Am C
And don't worry 'bout me when the sun goes down
F G
I'll be somewhere whistlin' to my own sound
Am C
In my hometown, by my own self
F G
I'll get there, same shoes, no thumb out
[Verse 3]
Am
I'm the one they didn't get, I'm the one they couldn't catch
F
I'm the one they couldn't bribe with cars, groupies, and stacks
D Am C
Yeah, I'm that motherfucker, ha, King Kong of my own castle
F
With a army behind me ready to smack who's walkin' past me
Am C
I done been down in the dumps, now I'm restless on a mountain
F
Got the youth that people die for, yeah, my face is everlastin'
Am C
But my music will outlast me, the outcast that kept their traction
F
When the tires went bald, I got out with my country ass
Am C
Leave a laugh for the past, narrow eyes for the rest
F
Sleepin' good these days 'cause I made my bed
Am C
Where I lay my head there's plenty paper and lead
F
And this story ain't over 'til I got no blank pages left
[Chorus]
Am C
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
F G
Still doin' my thing as the cars fly by
Am C
All night, that's right
F G
I'll get where I'm goin' with no hitchhike
Am
And don't worry 'bout me when the sun goes down
C F G
I'll be somewhere whistlin' to my own sound
Am
In my hometown, by my own self
C F G
I'll get there, same shoes, no thumb out
[Outro]

G Am C F
Woah, oh,
Am C F
Woah, oh,
G Am C F
