0:17When I was born as I recall
0:21The preacher didn't hold out any hope at all
0:25He looked at me all pink and skin
0:28Thought he'd better dip me in the bath again
0:40I scuffed my shins on bigger things
0:44People throwin' rocks at the angel's wings
0:48But through it all I stood tall
0:52Even when my back was up against the wall
0:57The devil's daughter keep a calling out my name
1:04I so sincerely want to cross the road and play the game
1:12Raise your hands jump for joy
1:16Let's hear it for the country boy
1:20Raise your hands jump for joy
1:24Let's hear it for the country boy
1:36So I grow'd up became a man
1:39Took my daddy's teachings all across the land
1:43The journey's long but I must be strong
1:47And try to tell the difference 'tween right and wrong
1:52The devil's daughter keep a calling out my name
2:00I've been to heaven now I'm never gonna see things the same
2:08Raise your hands jump for joy
2:14Let's hear it for the country boy
2:17Raise your hands jump for joy
2:22Let's hear it for the country boy
2:30Let's hear it for the country boy
2:33Raise your hands
2:39Let's hear it
2:44Raise your hands
2:46Raise your hands
2:47Let's hear it for the country boy
2:54Let's hear it for the country boy
2:56Raise your hands
3:01Let's hear it for the country boy
3:05Raise your hands
3:09Let's hear it for the country boy
3:13Raise your hands jump for joy
3:17Let's hear it for the country boy
3:20Raise your hands jump for joy
