Now I grew up down an old dirt road

In a town you wouldnt know

My pop's picked a place up for fifteen hundred bucks

Back in 1964

My grandfather was a drinker

Back in the day he put em down

But a war is known to change a man

And the whiskeys known to change a man but...

Thats not me

I rarely drink from the bottle but Ill smoke a little weed

I still live in the sticks where you wouldnt go

In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road

And a country boy is all Ill ever be....

Now its 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 Marquis

He said you want to sell a million records boy

You better listen to me

He said change your style, whiten your smile

you could lose a couple pounds

And if you want to live this life

You better lose that wife

Do ya need your friends around?

I said.. No thats not me

Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family

And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts

and couple extra pounds never really hurt

And a country boy is all Ill ever be....

Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive

Youll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45

I got a big orange tracker and a diesel truck

My idea of heaven is chasing white tail 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 is says

and I'll take that to my grave

Because..... this is me

Im proud to be American and strong in my beliefs

And Ive said it before but Ill say it again

Cause I never needed a government to hold my hand

And Ive said it before but Ill say it again

Cause my familys always fought and died to save this land

And a country boy is all I'll ever be....
