Frank Foster – Who I Am

Frank Foster – Who I Am Lyrics

Artist: Frank Foster
Song: Who I Am

I was born down in Dixie
Among the cypress trees
And daddy was a driller and a wild hog killer
And momma, she was Cherokee

I was the second one, the youngest little son of the South
They brought me up right, taught me when to love and when to fight
And how to tough it out
And I learned how to pray back in Sunday school

And God bless the souls on Holly Ridge Road
You know they done all they could do
But a line walking saint is one thing I ain’t
I’m just your everyday good ole boy

But I ain’t too proud to hit my knees
When I need some peace and pray to the Lord
And that’s who I am
That’s the way I was raised

Every lesson learned and bridge I burned
Made me the man I am today
My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But I’m reaching for the stars

‘Cause my folks and my home
The road and these songs
Are all a part of who I am
Now I’m a walking contradiction

I’m right and I’m wrong
I’m somewhere between a Sunday morning sermon
And a good old drinking song
Full of anger and joy, still just a boy

But I’m a full grown man
And I’m out on the road singing my country gold
With a rowdy rock-n-roll band
And that’s who I am

That’s the way I was raised
Every lesson learned and bridge I burned
Made me the man I am today
My feet are planted firmly on the ground

But I’m reaching for the stars
‘Cause my folks and my home
The road and these songs
Are all a part of who I am

And that’s who I am
That’s the way I was raised
Every lesson learned and bridge I burned
Made me the man I am today

My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But I’m reaching for the stars
‘Cause my folks and my home
The road and these songs

Are all a part of who I am
It’s who I am
