| [00:00.85] |
Now I grew up down an old dirt road |
| [00:04.10] |
In a town you wouldn't know |
| [00:06.60] |
|
| [00:07.98] |
My pop's picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks |
| [00:11.98] |
Back in 1964 |
| [00:14.60] |
|
| [00:16.54] |
My grandfather was a drinker |
| [00:19.73] |
Back in the day he put 'em down |
| [00:22.35] |
|
| [00:23.91] |
But a war is known to change a man |
| [00:27.60] |
And the whiskey's known to change a man |
| [00:31.29] |
|
| [00:35.17] |
That's not me |
| [00:36.60] |
|
| [00:39.41] |
I rarely drink from the bottle |
| [00:41.42] |
but I'll smoke a little weed |
| [00:46.17] |
|
| [00:47.35] |
I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go |
| [00:51.29] |
In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road |
| [00:55.41] |
And a country boy is all I'll ever be |
| [01:03.29] |
Now its been twelve years since I sold my soul |
| [01:06.98] |
To the devil in L.A. |
| [01:10.91] |
He said sign your name here on the dotted line |
| [01:14.79] |
And your songs they all will play |
| [01:17.48] |
|
| [01:19.16] |
He setup shop on sunset |
| [01:22.66] |
He put me up at the Marquis |
| [01:25.60] |
|
| [01:26.60] |
He said you wanna sell a million records boy |
| [01:31.54] |
You better listen to me |
| [01:34.04] |
|
| [01:34.66] |
He said change your style |
| [01:37.10] |
Whiten your smile |
| [01:38.98] |
you could lose a couple of pounds |
| [01:42.29] |
You wanna live this life |
| [01:44.41] |
You better lose that wife |
| [01:46.60] |
Do you need your friends around |
| [01:50.04] |
I said no that's not me |
| [01:55.48] |
|
| [01:58.22] |
Cause the biggest things in life |
| [02:00.10] |
are your friends and family |
| [02:01.97] |
|
| [02:04.67] |
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts |
| [02:09.92] |
And a couple extra pounds never really hurt |
| [02:13.81] |
Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be |
| [02:20.76] |
|
| [02:21.76] |
Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive |
| [02:28.00] |
|
| [02:29.56] |
You'll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45 |
| [02:36.01] |
|
| [02:37.51] |
I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck |
| [02:41.27] |
My idea of heaven's chasin' whitetail bucks |
| [02:45.51] |
And as a country boy you know I can survive |
| [02:56.26] |
|
| [02:57.58] |
Now two flags fly above my land |
| [03:00.89] |
That really sum up how I feel |
| [03:03.89] |
|
| [03:04.95] |
One is the colors that fly high and proud |
| [03:09.42] |
The red, the white, the blue |
| [03:11.67] |
|
| [03:13.17] |
The other one's got a rattlesnake |
| [03:16.67] |
with a simple statement made |
| [03:19.86] |
|
| [03:20.98] |
"Don't Tread On Me" is what it says |
| [03:24.42] |
and I'll take that to my grave |
| [03:27.61] |
|
| [03:28.79] |
Because this is me |
| [03:34.11] |
|
| [03:36.54] |
I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs |
| [03:43.42] |
|
| [03:44.54] |
And I've said it before but I'll say it again |
| [03:48.30] |
Cause I've never needed government to hold my hand |
| [03:52.36] |
And I've said it before but I'll say it again |
| [03:56.17] |
Cause my family's always fought and died to save this land |
| [04:00.23] |
And a country boy is all I'll ever be |
| [04:08.17] |
|
| [04:36.67] |
