1
Now, I grew up down an old dirt road in a town you wouldn't know
2
My pop's picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks back in 1964
3
My grandfather was a drinker, back in the day, he put him down
4
But a war is known to change a man and the whiskey's known to change a man, but
5
That's not me
6
I rarely drink from the bottle but I'll smoke a little weed
7
I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go
8
In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road
9
And a country boy is all I'll ever be
10
Now, its been twelve years since I sold my soul to the devil in L.A.
11
He said sign your name here on the dotted line and your songs, they all will play
12
He set up shop on Sunset, he put me up at the Marquee
13
He said "you want to sell a million records boy, you better listen to me"
14
He said "change your style, whiten your smile, you can lose a couple of pounds
15
If you want to live this life, you better lose that wife, do you need your friends around?"
16
And I said, no, that's not me
17
Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family
18
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts
19
And a couple extra pounds never really hurt
20
'Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be
21
'Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive
22
You'll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45
23
I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck
24
And my idea of heaven is chasing whitetail bucks
25
And as a country boy, I know I can survive
26
Now, two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I feel
27
One is the colors that fly high and proud, the red, the white, the blue
28
The other one's got a rattlesnake with a simple statement made
29
"Don't Tread On Me" is what is says and I'll take that to my grave
30
Because this is me
31
I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs
32
And I've said it before but I'll say it again
33
'Cause I've never needed government to hold my hand
34
And I've said it before but I'll say it again
35
'Cause my family's always fought and died to save this land
36
And a country boy is all I'll ever be
