Country Kid

I can still make Cheyenne on the radio

Coyotes cry when the sun goes down

And we rode into town a couple days ago

To rent Karate Kid, but it's sold out

And my dad said if I can get my entry fees paid up

We can ride to the rodeo in his truck

Yeah, I don't wanna grow up

If I have to let go of

Blue sky morning dew

The fall time harvest moon

'Cause I could bet my whole life

There ain't nothing that feels like

Dirt on your skin or a prairie wind

When you take the long way home, pray it never ends

That's the way it is

When you're a country kid

Yeah, we got five whole channels and sometimes six

If you fix the rabbit ears just right

And my great grandpa built the house here that you're standing in

A hundred years of honest work and pride

And we ask God to bless the food and the hands that prepare

And if it's all the same, we could use a little rain

Yeah, I don't wanna grow up

If I have to let go of

Blue sky morning dew

The fall time harvest moon

'Cause I could bet my whole life

There ain't nothing that feels like

Dirt on your skin or a prairie wind

When you take the long way home, pray it never ends

That's the way it is

When you're a country kid

Yeah, oh

And I wrote a few songs up in my bedroom

And they ain't any good, but that's okay

And if you'd like to hear some, I just might let you

But you already know what I would say

I don't wanna grow up

If I have to let go of

Blue sky morning dew

The lilac trees in June

'Cause I could bet my whole life

There ain't nothing that feels like

Dirt on your skin from where you been

You took the long way home and prayed it'd never end

That's the way it is

It's just the way it is

That's the way it is

When you're a country kid

Mm
