A bit of country whimsy with a lot of truth in it. A Cajun feel to this one with accordion added to the guitars and drums. Definitely says something about who Dusty was.
lyrics
People are always askin’ cause they can’t understand,
Why I turned out the way I did, what makes my kind of man,
There ain’t no easy answers, Lord, I guess there never are,
I always loved that country music, never thought it’d go this far,
Here I am in another bar.
Refrain:
I’m a little bit rowdy I’m a little bit shy,
A little bit of crazy look in my eye,
A whole lot of country, there ain’t no doubt,
That’s what I’m all about, yeah, that’s what I’m all about.
Never been to the bayou country, I always wanted to go,
Ever since I heard about jambalaya on my mom and daddy’s radio,
I've never been on the Opry, but Lord I’ve been alone,
You get this sound when the blues come around, it sure does help you moan,
Bein’ on your own.
(Refrain)
Never meant to cause no trouble, I never started a fight,
I never meant to get drunk but sometimes you know
It helps me through the night,
Never had no fame or fortune, never had me a home or a friend,
It gets a little tight but I’ll be alright, I may break but I’ll never bend,
And I’ll be back again.
Refrain
Well, I’m a little bit rowdy I’m a little bit shy,
A little bit of crazy look in my eye,
A whole lot of country, there ain’t no doubt,
That’s what I’m all about,
What I'm mostly about.

Born in BC, Canada in 1947, Dusty started performing in bands in his early teens. He was always honing his craft, learning
stagecraft from more experienced performers.
Dusty passed away in Nova Scotia in 2017. The man is gone, but his music lives on. Dusty's online presence is managed by Mrs. Dusty (Jeri-Lynn Woods). My goal is to share the magic and keep the Dusty Woods legacy alive....more
