Country Boy
Aaron Lewis, George Jones
Now, AI grew up down an old dirt road
In a Gadd9town you wouldn't knowD/F#
My pop's Gadd9picked the place up for D/F#fifteen hundred bucks
Back in Gadd9nineteen-sixtyAfour
My Agrandfather was a drinker
Back in the Gadd9day, he put him downD/F#
But a Gadd9war is known to D/F#change a man
and the Gadd9whiskey's known to Achange a man, but
Gadd9D/F#That's not Gadd9me
Gadd9A
I rarely Gadd9drink from the bottle D/F#but I'll smoke a little Gadd9weAed
I still Gadd9live in the sticks D/F#where you wouldn't go
Gadd9A
In a Gadd9town of twelve hundred Aoff an old dirt road
And a Gadd9country boy D/F#is all I'll ever Gadd9be
Gadd9A
Now, its Abeen twelve years since I sold my soul
To the Gadd9devil in D/F#L.A.
He said Gadd9sign your name here D/F#on the dotted line
and your Gadd9songs, they all will Aplay
He Aset up shop on Sunset
He put me Gadd9up at the D/F#Marquee
He said "Gadd9you want to sell a D/F#million records boy
Gadd9You better listen Ato me"
He said "Gadd9change your style, D/F#whiten your smile
Gadd9You can lose a couple Aof pounds
If you want to Gadd9live this life, you D/F#better lose that wife
Do you Gadd9need your friends Aaround?"
And I said,Gadd9 D/F#no, that's not Gadd9me
Gadd9A
Cause the Gadd9biggest things in life D/F#are your friends
And famiGadd9lyA
And I Gadd9like my jeans D/F#and my old t-shirts
And a Gadd9couple extra pounds Anever really hurt
'Cause a Gadd9country boy D/F#is all I'll ever Gadd9be
Gadd9A
'Cause Cadd9Hank taught me just Dhow to stay aAlive
A
You'll never Cadd9catch me out the house without my Dnine or fourty-Afive
A
I got a Cadd9big orange tractor and a Ddiesel truck
And Amy idea of heaven is chasing whitetail bucks
And as a Cadd9country boy, I Dknow I can surEvive
E
Now, Atwo flags fly above my land
That really Gadd9sum up how I D/F#feel
Gadd9One is the colors D/F#that fly high and proud
The Gadd9red, the white, the Ablue
The Aother one's got a rattlesnake
with a Gadd9simple statement D/F#made
"Don't Gadd9Tread On Me" D/F#is what is says
and I'll Gadd9take that to my Agrave
BecauseGadd9 D/F#this is Gadd9me
Gadd9A
I'm proud Gadd9to be American D/F#and strong
in my beGadd9liAefs
And I've Gadd9said it before D/F#but I'll say it again
'Cause I've Gadd9never needed governAment to hold my hand
And I've Gadd9said it before D/F#but I'll say it again
'Cause my Gadd9family's always fought and Adied to save this land
And a Gadd9country boy D/F#is all I'll ever Gadd9be
Gadd9A
