Searching for some answers about this kind of life,
We knew a man who'd done it all, made the sacrifice,
We told him we were ready,
We thought our time had come,
Then he looked at us and smiled the words rolled off his tongue

Sometimes it's the singer,
And then sometimes it's the song,
Just forget the destination son, it's the journey that you're on,
And the road goes through the honkey tonks,
The dance halls and the bars

The music's here forever boys and heros come and go,
One day you'll be lookin' back farther down the road,
So don't try to take the credit for what's written in the stars,
And don't apologize for who you are

They're livin' proof of what it takes,
Men who ain't afraid to show their scars,
There'll be those who criticize,
There'll be time for compromise,
But don't apologize for who you are,

No, don't apologize for who you are,
No, don't apologize for who you are,
No, don't apologize for who you are
