Country Boy
Now,
D
I grew up down an old dirt road
In a
Cadd9
town you wouldn't know
G/H
My pop's
Cadd9
picked the place up for
G/H
fifteen hundred bucks
Back in
Cadd9
nineteen-sixty
D
four
My
D
grandfather was a drinker
Back in the
Cadd9
day, he put him down
G/H
But a
Cadd9
war is known to
G/H
change a man
and the
Cadd9
whiskey's known to
D
change a man, but
Cadd9
G/H
That's not
Cadd9
me
I rarely
Cadd9
drink from the bottle
G/H
but I'll smoke a little
Cadd9
we
D
ed
I still
Cadd9
live in the sticks
G/H
where you wouldn't go
In a
Cadd9
town of twelve hundred
D
off an old dirt road
And a
Cadd9
country boy
G/H
is all I'll ever
Cadd9
be
Now, its
D
been twelve years since I sold my soul
To the
Cadd9
devil in
G/H
L.A.
He said
Cadd9
sign your name here
G/H
on the dotted line
and your
Cadd9
songs, they all will
D
play
He
D
set up shop on Sunset
He put me
Cadd9
up at the
G/H
Marquee
He said "
Cadd9
you want to sell a
G/H
million records boy
Cadd9
You better listen
D
to me"
He said "
Cadd9
change your style,
G/H
whiten your smile
Cadd9
You can lose a couple
D
of pounds
If you want to
Cadd9
live this life, you
G/H
better lose that wife
Do you
Cadd9
need your friends
D
around?"
And I said,
Cadd9
G/H
no, that's not
Cadd9
me
Cause the
Cadd9
biggest things in life
G/H
are your friends
And I
Cadd9
like my jeans
G/H
and my old t-shirts
And a
Cadd9
couple extra pounds
D
never really hurt
'Cause a
Cadd9
country boy
G/H
is all I'll ever
Cadd9
be
'Cause
Fadd9
Hank taught me just
G
how to stay a
D
live
You'll never
Fadd9
catch me out the house without my
G
nine or fourty-
D
five
I got a
Fadd9
big orange tractor and a
G
diesel truck
And
D
my idea of heaven is chasing whitetail bucks
And as a
Fadd9
country boy, I
G
know I can sur
A
vive
Now,
D
two flags fly above my land
That really
Cadd9
sum up how I
G/H
feel
Cadd9
One is the colors
G/H
that fly high and proud
The
Cadd9
red, the white, the
D
blue
The
D
other one's got a rattlesnake
with a
Cadd9
simple statement
G/H
made
"Don't
Cadd9
Tread On Me"
G/H
is what is says
and I'll
Cadd9
take that to my
D
grave
Because
Cadd9
G/H
this is
Cadd9
me
I'm proud
Cadd9
to be American
G/H
and strong
And I've
Cadd9
said it before
G/H
but I'll say it again
'Cause I've
Cadd9
never needed govern
D
ment to hold my hand
And I've
Cadd9
said it before
G/H
but I'll say it again
'Cause my
Cadd9
family's always fought and
D
died to save this land
And a
Cadd9
country boy
G/H
is all I'll ever
Cadd9
be
