Right Here Where I Am Lyrics

I'm not the Count of Monte Cristo

No, you'll never see me on the Jerry Springer show

They say California's the place to go

But I like it right here where I am

I keep myself in pretty good condition

I say my prayers like the act of contrition

To keep my sanity, I just go fishin

And that's why I like it where I am

They say the grass is always greener on the other side

But every time I jump that fence, I seem to collide

With somebody who wants to take me for a different ride

I always tell them that I like it right here where I am

It doesn't matter if I'm wrong or right

To prove my point, sometimes I put up a fight

While I keep things in perspective, try to treat people right

So I stay here where I am

They say the grass is always greener on the other side

But every time I jump that fence, I seem to collide

With somebody who wants to take me for a different ride

I always tell them that I like it right here where I am

I'm not the Count of Monte Cristo

No, you'll never see me on the Jerry Springer show

They say California's the place to go

But I like it right here where I am

Yeah, I like it right here where I am

Yeah, I like it right here where I am
