[Verse]
Well, it's true all you've heard
I'm livin' like a gypsy and I can't be cured
Of this homesick blues that I've come down with
I stay out late most every night
In a different state gettin' high as a kite
Until I come down I don't realize that I've been flyin'

[Pre-Chorus]
And I suppose you know
I can dig myself a hole
I've been told time and again
Yeah, the rumors are true
But I ain't who I was back then

[Chorus]
These days I'm good and I'm grown
But I'm alone most of the time
Forgive or forget me
If my reasons don't rhymе
Don't take it too hard
It's just part of livin' the dream
I pick and I sing
But I'm finally proud of who I am now
'Causе I ain't who I was
[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]
And I suppose you know
I can dig myself a hole
I've been told time and again
Yeah, the rumors are true
But I ain't who I was back then

[Chorus]
These days I'm good and I'm grown
But I'm alone most of the time
Forgive or forget me
If my reasons don't rhyme
Don't take it too hard
It's just part of livin' the dream
I pick and I sing
But I'm finally proud of who I am now
'Cause I ain't who I was
Yeah, I'm finally proud of who I am now
'Cause I ain't who I was
