[00:01.26]Now I grew up down an old dirt road
[00:02.73]In a town you wouldn't know
[00:05.49]My pop's picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks
[00:06.84]Back in 1964
[00:07.02]My grandfather was a drinker
[00:07.74]Back in the day he put 'em down
[00:14.73]But a war is known to change a man
[00:15.39]And the whiskey's known to change a man
[00:16.20]That's not me
[00:17.37]I rarely drink from the bottle
[00:18.30]If l could get my shit together
[00:21.63]I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go
[00:22.92]In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road
[00:33.39]And a country boy is all I'll ever be
[00:38.94]Now its been twelve years since I sold my soul
[00:44.19]To the devil in L.A.
[00:44.61]He said sign your name here on the dotted line
[00:45.51]And your songs they all will play
[00:46.14]He setup shop on sunset
[00:46.71]He put me up at the Marquis
[00:49.05]He said you wanna sell a million records boy
[00:50.22]You better listen to     me
[00:52.74]He said change your style
[00:53.40]Whiten your smile
[00:53.88]you could lose a couple of pounds
[00:55.02]You wanna live this life
[01:04.98]You better lose that wife
[01:05.91]Do you need your friends around
[01:06.60]I said    no that's not me
[01:08.34]Cause the biggest things in life
[01:09.36]are your friends and family
[01:10.80]And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts
[01:16.77]And a couple extra pounds never really hurt
[01:20.28]Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be
[01:24.57]Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive
[01:26.40]You'll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45
[01:33.00]I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck
[01:36.39]My idea of heaven's chasin' whitetail bucks
[01:37.26]And as a country boy you know I can survive
[01:38.94]Now two flags fly above my land
[01:39.60]That really sum up how I feel
[01:40.14]One is the colors that fly high and proud
[01:41.10]The red, the white, the blue
[01:41.55]The other one's got a rattlesnake
[01:42.24]with a simple statement made
[01:42.87]"Don't Tread On Me" is what it says
[01:51.24]and I'll take that to my grave
[02:16.29]Because      this is me
[02:19.20]I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs
[02:22.59]And I've said it before but I'll say it again
[02:26.43]Cause I've never needed government to hold my hand
[02:28.23]And I've said it before but I'll say it again
[02:41.94]Cause my family's always fought and died to save this land
[02:53.88]And a country boy is all I'll ever be
