[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
