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 on marque He said you want to sell a million records boy You better listen to me He said change your style While in your smile you can lose a couple pounds And if you want to live this life You better lose that wife Don't even need your friends around And I said that's not me The biggest things in life is your friends and family And I like my jeans and my old t-shirt A couple extra pounds never really hurt Because a country boy is all I'll ever be Fsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 And Hank taught me how to stay alive Fsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 You'll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45 Fsus4 Gsus4 I got a big orange tracker and a diesel truck Dsus4 My idea of heaven is chasing wild tail bucks Fsus4 Gsus4 Am And as a country boy I know I can survive Dsus4 Now two flags fly above my land That really sum up how I feel One's the colors that fly high and proud The red, the white, the blue The other one's 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 Proud to be American and strong in my beliefs And I've said it before but I'll say it again Because I never need a government to hold my hand And I've said it before but I'll say it again Because my family's always fought and died to save this land And a country boy is all I'll ever be
