  S1:
  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 nineteen-sixtyfour 

  My grandfather was a drinker 

  Back in the day, he put him down 

  But a war is known to change a man  

  And the whiskey's known to change a man, but

  x----x----x------ That's not me 

  -----x----x------  

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

  -----x----x------  

  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

  S2:
  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 set up shop on Sunset  

  He put me up at the Marquee 

  He 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 pounds 

  If you want to live this life, you better lose that wife  

  Do you need your friends around?

  R2:
  And I said, no, that's not me 

  -----x----x------  

  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

  B1:
  'Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive 

  -----x----x------  

  You'll never catch me out the house without my nine or fourty-five 

  -----x----x------ 

  I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck 

  And my idea of heaven is chasing whitetail bucks 

  And as a country boy, I know I can survive

  S3:
  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 is says  

  And I'll take that to my grave

  R3:
  Because this is me 

  -----x----x------  

  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
