Country Boy
Aaron Lewis, George Jones
Now, DbI grew up down an old dirt road
In a Hadd9town you wouldn't knowGb/B
My pop's Hadd9picked the place up for Gb/Bfifteen hundred bucks
Back in Hadd9nineteen-sixtyDbfour
My Dbgrandfather was a drinker
Back in the Hadd9day, he put him downGb/B
But a Hadd9war is known to Gb/Bchange a man
and the Hadd9whiskey's known to Dbchange a man, but
Hadd9Gb/BThat's not Hadd9me
Hadd9Db
I rarely Hadd9drink from the bottle Gb/Bbut I'll smoke a little Hadd9weDbed
I still Hadd9live in the sticks Gb/Bwhere you wouldn't go
Hadd9Db
In a Hadd9town of twelve hundred Dboff an old dirt road
And a Hadd9country boy Gb/Bis all I'll ever Hadd9be
Hadd9Db
Now, its Dbbeen twelve years since I sold my soul
To the Hadd9devil in Gb/BL.A.
He said Hadd9sign your name here Gb/Bon the dotted line
and your Hadd9songs, they all will Dbplay
He Dbset up shop on Sunset
He put me Hadd9up at the Gb/BMarquee
He said "Hadd9you want to sell a Gb/Bmillion records boy
Hadd9You better listen Dbto me"
He said "Hadd9change your style, Gb/Bwhiten your smile
Hadd9You can lose a couple Dbof pounds
If you want to Hadd9live this life, you Gb/Bbetter lose that wife
Do you Hadd9need your friends Dbaround?"
And I said,Hadd9 Gb/Bno, that's not Hadd9me
Hadd9Db
Cause the Hadd9biggest things in life Gb/Bare your friends
And famiHadd9lyDb
And I Hadd9like my jeans Gb/Band my old t-shirts
And a Hadd9couple extra pounds Dbnever really hurt
'Cause a Hadd9country boy Gb/Bis all I'll ever Hadd9be
Hadd9Db
'Cause Eadd9Hank taught me just Gbhow to stay aDblive
Db
You'll never Eadd9catch me out the house without my Gbnine or fourty-Dbfive
Db
I got a Eadd9big orange tractor and a Gbdiesel truck
And Dbmy idea of heaven is chasing whitetail bucks
And as a Eadd9country boy, I Gbknow I can surAbvive
Ab
Now, Dbtwo flags fly above my land
That really Hadd9sum up how I Gb/Bfeel
Hadd9One is the colors Gb/Bthat fly high and proud
The Hadd9red, the white, the Dbblue
The Dbother one's got a rattlesnake
with a Hadd9simple statement Gb/Bmade
"Don't Hadd9Tread On Me" Gb/Bis what is says
and I'll Hadd9take that to my Dbgrave
BecauseHadd9 Gb/Bthis is Hadd9me
Hadd9Db
I'm proud Hadd9to be American Gb/Band strong
in my beHadd9liDbefs
And I've Hadd9said it before Gb/Bbut I'll say it again
'Cause I've Hadd9never needed governDbment to hold my hand
And I've Hadd9said it before Gb/Bbut I'll say it again
'Cause my Hadd9family's always fought and Dbdied to save this land
And a Hadd9country boy Gb/Bis all I'll ever Hadd9be
