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 sixtyfour
my grandfather was a drinker back in the day he’d put ’em down
but a war is known to change a man and the whiskey’s known to change a man
aaron lewis
but 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
aaron lewis george jones
now it’s been twelve years since i sold my soul to the devil in la
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 wanna sell a million records boy you better listen to me
aaron lewis george jones
he said change your style whiten 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
aaron lewis
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 tshirts and a couple extra pounds never really hurt
’cause a country boy is all i’ll ever be
aaron lewis
’cause hank taught me just how to stay alive
you’ll never catch me out the house without my nine or fourtyfive
i’ve got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck and my idea of heaven’s chasin’ white tail bucks
and as a country boy i know i can survive
aaron lewis
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
aaron lewis
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
charlie daniels
i love my country i love my guns i love my family i love the way it is now
and anybody that tries to change it has to come through me
that should be all of our attitudes ’cause this is america and a country boy is good enough for me son
