Country Boy (feat. Charlie Daniels, Chris Young, & George Jones)

Now I grew up down an old dirt road
In a town you wouldn't know

My pop's picked the 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 whiskey's known to change a man

That's not me

I rarely drink from the bottle
but I'll smoke a little ****

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 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 setup shop on sunset
He put me up at the Marquis

He said you wanna sell a million records boy
You better listen to me

He said change your style
Whiten your smile
you could lose a couple of pounds
You wanna live this life
You 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 .9 or .45

I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck
My idea of heaven's chasin' whitetail bucks
And as a country boy you 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 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 fought and died to save this land
And a country boy is all I'll ever be
