Now I grew up down an old dirt road
In a town you wouldnt know
My pop's picked a place up for fifteen hundred bucks
back in 1964
My grandfather was a drinker
back in the day he put em down
but a war is known to change a man
And the whiskeys known to change a man but...
Thats not me
I rarely drink from the bottle but Ill smoke a little weed
I still live in the sticks where you wouldnt go
In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road
And a country boy is all Ill ever be....
Now its been twelve years since I sold my soul
To the devil in L.A.
He said sign your name here on the dotted line
And your songs they all will play
He set up shop on Sunset
He put me up at the Marquis
He said you want to sell a million records boy
You better listen to me
He said change your style, whiten your smile
you could lose a couple pounds
And if you want to live this life
You better lose that wife
Do ya need your friends around?
I said.. No thats not me
Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts
and couple extra pounds never really hurt
And a country boy is all Ill ever be....
Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive
Youll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45
I got a big orange tracker and a diesel truck
My idea of heaven is chasing white tail bucks
And as a country boy I know I can survive
Now two flags fly above my land
That really sum up how I feel
One is the colors that fly high and proud
The red, the white, the blue
The other ones got a rattlesnake
with a simple statement made
"Don't Tread On Me" is what is says
and I'll take that to my grave
because..... this is me
Im proud to be American and strong in my beliefs
And Ive said it before but Ill say it again
Cause I never needed a government to hold my hand
And Ive said it before but Ill say it again
Cause my familys always fought and died to save this land
And a country boy is all I'll ever be....
