Now, I grew up down an old dirt road in a town you wouldn't knowMy pop's picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks back in 1964My grandfather was a drinker, back in the day, he put him downBut a war is known to change a man and the whiskey's known to change a man, butThat's not meI rarely drink from the bottle but I'll smoke a little weedI still live in the sticks where you wouldn't goIn a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt roadAnd a country boy is all I'll ever beNow, 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 playHe set up shop on Sunset, he put me up at the MarqueeHe said "you want to sell a million records boy, you better listen to me"He said "change your style, whiten your smile, you can lose a couple of poundsIf you want to live this life, you better lose that wife, do you need your friends around?"And I said, no, that's not meCause the biggest things in life are your friends and familyAnd I like my jeans and my old t-shirtsAnd a couple extra pounds never really hurtSongtexte'Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be'Cause Hank taught me just how to stay aliveYou'll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truckAnd my idea of heaven is chasing whitetail bucksAnd as a country boy, I know I can surviveNow, two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I feelOne is the colors that fly high and proud, the red, the white, the blueThe other one's got a rattlesnake with a simple statement made"Don't Tread On Me" is what is says and I'll take that to my graveBecause this is meI'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefsAnd I've said it before but I'll say it again'Cause I've never needed government to hold my handAnd I've said it before but I'll say it again'Cause my family's always fought and died to save this landAnd a country boy is all I'll ever be
