[00:00.85]Now I grew up down an old dirt road
[00:04.10]In a town you wouldn't know
[00:06.60]
[00:07.98]My pop's picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks
[00:11.98]Back in 1964
[00:14.60]
[00:16.54]My grandfather was a drinker
[00:19.73]Back in the day he put 'em down
[00:22.35]
[00:23.91]But a war is known to change a man
[00:27.60]And the whiskey's known to change a man
[00:31.29]
[00:35.17]That's not me
[00:36.60]
[00:39.41]I rarely drink from the bottle
[00:41.42]but I'll smoke a little weed
[00:46.17]
[00:47.35]I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go
[00:51.29]In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road
[00:55.41]And a country boy is all I'll ever be
[01:03.29]Now its been twelve years since I sold my soul
[01:06.98]To the devil in L.A.
[01:10.91]He said sign your name here on the dotted line
[01:14.79]And your songs they all will play
[01:17.48]
[01:19.16]He setup shop on sunset
[01:22.66]He put me up at the Marquis
[01:25.60]
[01:26.60]He said you wanna sell a million records boy
[01:31.54]You better listen to     me
[01:34.04]
[01:34.66]He said change your style
[01:37.10]Whiten your smile
[01:38.98]you could lose a couple of pounds
[01:42.29]You wanna live this life
[01:44.41]You better lose that wife
[01:46.60]Do you need your friends around
[01:50.04]I said    no that's not me
[01:55.48]
[01:58.22]Cause the biggest things in life
[02:00.10]are your friends and family
[02:01.97]
[02:04.67]And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts
[02:09.92]And a couple extra pounds never really hurt
[02:13.81]Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be
[02:20.76]
[02:21.76]Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive
[02:28.00]
[02:29.56]You'll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45
[02:36.01]
[02:37.51]I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck
[02:41.27]My idea of heaven's chasin' whitetail bucks
[02:45.51]And as a country boy you know I can survive
[02:56.26]
[02:57.58]Now two flags fly above my land
[03:00.89]That really sum up how I feel
[03:03.89]
[03:04.95]One is the colors that fly high and proud
[03:09.42]The red, the white, the blue
[03:11.67]
[03:13.17]The other one's got a rattlesnake
[03:16.67]with a simple statement made
[03:19.86]
[03:20.98]"Don't Tread On Me" is what it says
[03:24.42]and I'll take that to my grave
[03:27.61]
[03:28.79]Because      this is me
[03:34.11]
[03:36.54]I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs
[03:43.42]
[03:44.54]And I've said it before but I'll say it again
[03:48.30]Cause I've never needed government to hold my hand
[03:52.36]And I've said it before but I'll say it again
[03:56.17]Cause my family's always fought and died to save this land
[04:00.23]And a country boy is all I'll ever be
[04:08.17]
[04:36.67]
