Karaoké Country Boy Aaron Lewis

Well I grew up down an old dirt road in a town you wouldn't know

My pops picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks back in nineteeen sixty-four

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 is known to change a man but

That's not me

I rarely drink from the bottle but I 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 it's 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 set up shop on sunset

He put me up at the marquee

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 want to live this life you better lose that wife

Do you need your friends around?

I said

No that's not me

'Cos 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

'Cos a country boy is all I'll ever be

'Cos Hank taught me just how to stay alive

You'll never catch me out the house without my nine or forty-five

I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck

And my idea of heaven is chasing whitetail bucks

And as a country boy

I 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 ones 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

'Cos I've never needed government to hold my hand

And I've said it before but I'll say it again

'Cos my family has always fought and died to save this land and a country boy is all I'll ever be, yeah

I love my country

I love my guns

I love my family

I love the way it is now

And anybody that tries to change it has to come through me

That should be all of our attitudes 'cos this is America

And a country boy is good enough for me son
