| [00:00.00] |
Now I grew up down an old dirt road |
| [00:03.76] |
In a town you wouldn't know |
| [00:06.57] |
My pop's picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks |
| [00:11.80] |
Back in 1964 |
| [00:14.46] |
|
| [00:15.97] |
My grandfather was a drinker |
| [00:19.12] |
Back in the day he put 'em down |
| [00:22.40] |
But a war is known to change a man |
| [00:26.59] |
And the whiskey's known to change a man |
| [00:30.70] |
|
| [00:34.08] |
That's not me |
| [00:36.40] |
|
| [00:38.94] |
I rarely drink from the bottle |
| [00:41.13] |
but I'll smoke a little weed |
| [00:44.46] |
|
| [00:47.08] |
I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go |
| [00:50.77] |
In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road |
| [00:55.03] |
And a country boy is all I'll ever be |
| [00:59.58] |
|
| [01:02.79] |
Now its been twelve years since I sold my soul |
| [01:06.65] |
To the devil in L.A. |
| [01:09.98] |
He said sign your name here on the dotted line |
| [01:14.03] |
And your songs they all will play |
| [01:17.41] |
|
| [01:18.94] |
He setup shop on sunset |
| [01:22.00] |
He put me up at the Marquis |
| [01:25.92] |
He said you wanna sell a million records boy |
| [01:30.14] |
You better listen to me |
| [01:32.90] |
|
| [01:33.72] |
He said change your style |
| [01:36.16] |
Whiten your smile |
| [01:38.23] |
you could lose a couple of pounds |
| [01:41.11] |
You wanna live this life |
| [01:43.99] |
You better lose that wife |
| [01:45.81] |
Do you need your friends around |
| [01:48.66] |
|
| [01:49.73] |
I said no that's not me |
| [01:55.29] |
|
| [01:57.28] |
Cause the biggest things in life |
| [02:00.09] |
are your friends and family |
| [02:02.98] |
|
| [02:05.83] |
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts |
| [02:09.81] |
And a couple extra pounds never really hurt |
| [02:13.69] |
Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be |
| [02:18.05] |
|
| [02:21.74] |
Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive |
| [02:25.96] |
|
| [02:28.81] |
You'll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45 |
| [02:34.78] |
|
| [02:36.83] |
I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck |
| [02:41.16] |
My idea of heaven's chasin' whitetail bucks |
| [02:45.17] |
And as a country boy you know I can survive |
| [02:50.28] |
|
| [02:57.46] |
Now two flags fly above my land |
| [03:00.77] |
That really sum up how I feel |
| [03:03.84] |
One is the colors that fly high and proud |
| [03:08.94] |
The red, the white, the blue |
| [03:11.39] |
|
| [03:12.27] |
The other one's got a rattlesnake |
| [03:16.34] |
with a simple statement made |
| [03:19.90] |
"Don't Tread On Me" is what it says |
| [03:24.15] |
and I'll take that to my grave |
| [03:27.21] |
|
| [03:28.45] |
Because this is me |
| [03:33.39] |
|
| [03:36.04] |
I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs |
| [03:42.62] |
And I've said it before but I'll say it again |
| [03:47.91] |
Cause I've never needed government to hold my hand |
| [03:52.13] |
And I've said it before but I'll say it again |
| [03:55.86] |
Cause my family's always fought and died to save this land |
| [04:00.03] |
And a country boy is all I'll ever be |
| [04:04.36] |
|
