[Verse 1]

When I couldn't find the words

Well, I played her some Whitley

'Cause sometimes it's better

When you say nothin' at all

When I couldn't find myself

Well, I turned on some Otis

'Cause ain't nothin' like "Dock of the Bay"

To get me back where I belong

[Chorus]

If you wanna know me

You gotta know what's in my soul

Little Bakersfield, Memphis

And a whole lot of Muscle Shoals

Take some country, soul, rock and roll

And mix 'em all together

Yeah, and I'm what you get

When you're raised on a stack of records

[Verse 2]

I learned about the law

From Waylon and the Duke boys

I learned how to dance

On a kitchen hardwood floor

I learned a lot about leavin'

On a midnight train to Georgia

And thank God for Main Street drags

With them dusty old record stores

[Chorus]

If you wanna know me

You gotta know what's in my soul

Little Bakersfield, Memphis

And a whole lot of Muscle Shoals

Take some country, soul, rock and roll

And mix 'em all together

Yeah, and I'm what you get

When you're raised on a stack of records

[Bridge]

Well, every kid has a hero

Lord knows I had mine

So pickin' up this guitar

Just made perfect sense

Well, I hope my music moves you

As I stand up here tonight

I hope your road goes on forever

And your party never ends

[Chorus]

If you wanna know me

You gotta know what's in my soul

Little Bakersfield, Memphis

And a whole lot of Muscle Shoals

Take some country, soul, rock and roll

And mix 'em all together

Yeah, and I'm what you get

When you're raised on a stack of records

[Outro]

Oh, I'm what you get

When you're raised on a stack of records

Mm, I'm what you get
