Country Boy (feat. Charlie Daniels, Chris Young, & George Jones)

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 1964
My grandfather was a drinker
Back in the day he put 'em down
But a war is known to change a man
And the whiskey's known to change a man
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
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 setup shop on sunset
He put me up at the Marquis
He said you wanna sell a million records boy
You better listen to     me
He said change your style
Whiten your smile
You could lose a couple of pounds
You wanna live this life
You better lose that wife
Do you need your friends around
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 t-shirts
And a couple extra pounds never really hurt
Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be
Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive
You'll never catch me out the house without my  9 or  45
I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck
My idea of heaven's chasin' whitetail bucks
And as a country boy you know I can survive
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 it says
And I'll take that to my grave
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
