歌词
*Verse 1:*
Well, I was sittin' in the bleachers at the Friday night game,
Watchin' that clumsy kid trip over his own name.
His glasses slid down, and his shoes were untied,
I said to myself, "Man, that ain't my ride."
He'd fumble with his homework, lookin' all so frazzled,
I thought, "That ain't the life for me, I'll never be that hassled."
*Chorus:*
I ain't no nerd, ain't got no thick glasses,
I got my boots on and I’m kickin’ up the grasses.
He’s stuck in a cubicle, with his nose to the screen,
While I’m out here livin’ the life of my dreams.
No, I ain't no nerd, I got my own way,
Got a good ol' farm and a family to stay.
*Verse 2:*
Fast forward a bit, and we're both in college now,
I’m at the parties, havin’ fun, don't know how,
He's in the library, his nose buried in books,
I'm out with my buddies, crackin’ jokes and good looks.
He’s acin’ all his tests, but can't dance at a bash,
I’m just gettin’ by with a smile and a splash.
*Chorus:*
I ain't no nerd, ain't got no thick glasses,
I got my boots on and I’m kickin’ up the grasses.
He’s stuck in a cubicle, with his nose to the screen,
While I’m out here livin’ the life of my dreams.
No, I ain't no nerd, I got my own way,
Got a good ol' farm and a family to stay.
*Verse 3:*
Now we're grown up, and he's in a corner office grindin’,
I'm on my tractor, while he's still behind it.
He’s crunchin' numbers, and I’m crunchin’ corn,
His idea of fun’s a calculator worn.
I got a wife and kids, and a big ol' barn,
He’s got spreadsheets and coffee, not a single charm.
*Chorus:*
I ain't no nerd, ain't got no thick glasses,
I got my boots on and I’m kickin’ up the grasses.
He’s stuck in a cubicle, with his nose to the screen,
While I’m out here livin’ the life of my dreams.
No, I ain't no nerd, I got my own way,
Got a good ol' farm and a family to stay.
*Outro:*
So here’s to the nerds and the farmers too,
We all got our paths, and we all got our view.
I’ll keep my boots muddy, and my heart full of cheer,
While he’s counting numbers, I'll keep livin' clear.
No, I ain't no nerd, I’m just plain ol' me,
And that’s how it’s gonna stay, forever and free.
