| [00:01.26] |
Now I grew up down an old dirt road |
| [00:02.73] |
In a town you wouldn't know |
| [00:05.49] |
My pop's picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks |
| [00:06.84] |
Back in 1964 |
| [00:07.02] |
My grandfather was a drinker |
| [00:07.74] |
Back in the day he put 'em down |
| [00:14.73] |
But a war is known to change a man |
| [00:15.39] |
And the whiskey's known to change a man |
| [00:16.20] |
That's not me |
| [00:17.37] |
I rarely drink from the bottle |
| [00:18.30] |
If l could get my shit together |
| [00:21.63] |
I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go |
| [00:22.92] |
In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road |
| [00:33.39] |
And a country boy is all I'll ever be |
| [00:38.94] |
Now its been twelve years since I sold my soul |
| [00:44.19] |
To the devil in L.A. |
| [00:44.61] |
He said sign your name here on the dotted line |
| [00:45.51] |
And your songs they all will play |
| [00:46.14] |
He setup shop on sunset |
| [00:46.71] |
He put me up at the Marquis |
| [00:49.05] |
He said you wanna sell a million records boy |
| [00:50.22] |
You better listen to me |
| [00:52.74] |
He said change your style |
| [00:53.40] |
Whiten your smile |
| [00:53.88] |
you could lose a couple of pounds |
| [00:55.02] |
You wanna live this life |
| [01:04.98] |
You better lose that wife |
| [01:05.91] |
Do you need your friends around |
| [01:06.60] |
I said no that's not me |
| [01:08.34] |
Cause the biggest things in life |
| [01:09.36] |
are your friends and family |
| [01:10.80] |
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts |
| [01:16.77] |
And a couple extra pounds never really hurt |
| [01:20.28] |
Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be |
| [01:24.57] |
Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive |
| [01:26.40] |
You'll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45 |
| [01:33.00] |
I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck |
| [01:36.39] |
My idea of heaven's chasin' whitetail bucks |
| [01:37.26] |
And as a country boy you know I can survive |
| [01:38.94] |
Now two flags fly above my land |
| [01:39.60] |
That really sum up how I feel |
| [01:40.14] |
One is the colors that fly high and proud |
| [01:41.10] |
The red, the white, the blue |
| [01:41.55] |
The other one's got a rattlesnake |
| [01:42.24] |
with a simple statement made |
| [01:42.87] |
"Don't Tread On Me" is what it says |
| [01:51.24] |
and I'll take that to my grave |
| [02:16.29] |
Because this is me |
| [02:19.20] |
I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs |
| [02:22.59] |
And I've said it before but I'll say it again |
| [02:26.43] |
Cause I've never needed government to hold my hand |
| [02:28.23] |
And I've said it before but I'll say it again |
| [02:41.94] |
Cause my family's always fought and died to save this land |
| [02:53.88] |
And a country boy is all I'll ever be |
