Country Boy (feat. George Jones & Charlie Daniels)

Now, I grew up down an old dirt road In a town you wouldn't know My pops picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks Back in nineteen sixty-four My grandfather was a drinker Back in the day, he put 'em down But a war is known to change a man And the whiskey's known to change a man That's not me I rarely drink from the bottle, but I'll smoke a little weed I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road And a country boy is all I'll ever be Now it's been twelve years since I sold my soul To the devil in L.A. He said, sign here on the dotted line And your songs they all will play He set up shop on Sunset He put me up at the Marquee He said, you wanna sell a million records, boy You better listen to me He said, change your style, widen your smile You could lose a couple pounds If you want to live this life you'd better lose that wife Do you need your friends around? I said No, that's not me 'Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts And a couple extra pounds never really hurt 'Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be 'Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive You'll never catch me out the house without my nine or fourty-five I've got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck And my idea of heaven's chasing white tail bucks And as a country boy, I know I can survive Now two flags fly above my land And really sum up how I feel One is the colors that fly high and proud The red, the white, the blue The other one's got a rattlesnake With a simple statement made "Don't tread on me" is what it says And I'll take that to my grave Because This is me I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs And I've said it before, but I'll say it again 'Cause I've never needed government to hold my hand And I've said it before, but I'll say it again 'Cause my family's always faught and died to save this land And a country boy is all I'll ever be
