[Gb]
[Dm] I wanna be [E] a cowboy [A] baby
Well I'm packing up my game and I'm a head out west
Where real women come equipped with scripts and fake breasts
Find a nest where the hills [F] are chill like Flint
Buy an old drive top, find a spot for [Am] pimp
Then I'm a kid [F] rockin' up and down your [B] block
Go with a bottle of scotch or [A] watch lots of crotch
Buy a yacht with the flag saying chillin' the [Am] most
Then I'm a
I said what's [F] happening New York?
[C] [D]
[Bb] [G] Do you know this one?
I've [E] been sitting here
Trying to [B] find myself
I get [A] behind in myself
I need to [E] rewind myself
Looking for the payback
I listen [B] for the playback
They say [A] that every man bleeds just [E] like me
This ain't [B] working out is it?
[Ab] [G] [B]
[G] [Eb] Let's take it back to where it all [G] began right?
You know when Rock's been up in Detroit
Working on a new album
Doing a little
Little late night [C] thinking
And you know that I do
[F] A little [G] late night drinking
And I've never [Gm] been the most political man in the world
But I thought to myself [D] last week
Man what if Kid Rock
[C] Was the President [Fm] of the United States of America
[G] [Bb] And you know speaking of [A] presidents
Our 16th [Gb] president Mr.
Abraham Lincoln
[F] What a cool cat [G] had the long beard
[D] He couldn't [Cm] be here [D] tonight so I brought another friend [A] with a long beard
Mr.
Billy [G] Gibbons from ZZ Top
[Gm] You ready for this New York?
It's called If I Was [G] President
Come on brother Ready?
If I was president
Of the good old USA
You know I'd [C] turn our churches into strip clubs
And watch the whole [G] world parade
[Gm]
I'd give the working [Dm] man back his money
[C]
I'd make them dirty fucking politicians pay
[G]
Sing us something
To all the women raising our children
I'd give them a [C] vacation every [Gm] year
To all the [C] women that's raising our children
Give them a paid vacation [Gm]
every year
[G] And while [D] our good gals were out relaxing
[Cm] Us daddies would be out looking at titties and drinking beer
[G]
Say they were surreal
[C] If I was president
Even for just [G] one day
[Gm] You know I'd make the [D] day that Joe C.
passed away
[Cm] One of our nation's new national holidays
[G]
If I was president
[Gm] I swear I'd get [C] the job
[Gm] done
[G] [Gm]
You know [C] I'd uphold the freedom speech baby
And our rights to carry [Gm] guns
[G]
I'd give [D] my state of the union address
[C]
From a mile high smoking a joint on Air Force One
[G] Take me with you man when you go
Take me with you
If I was president
[C]
I wouldn't lie and [Gm] sneak around
If [C] I was president
I wouldn't have sex in the Oval Office
And then lie about it all [G] over town
Well I don't have to do that no more
I'd put [D] TV cameras in the Lincoln bedroom
[C] So the whole nation could watch old Rockland layin' it down
[F] [G]
I'd have [C] Monday night football on every TV
Leonard Skinner on every [Gm] radio
[G] And I would, [D] I'd give myself a pay raise
[Cm] So good folks in New York never had to pay
To see another kid rock a show
[G]
[Gm]
[G]
I like good whiskey
And I like fine ladies too
[Gm] [C] Got an awfully bad reputation, Billy
For running around with cats like [G] you
I didn't do it, didn't do it
[D] But I'm so glad to be back in New York City
[C] For MTV's 20th
And playin' for some of the best fans in the world like you
