Aaron Lewis – Country boy lyrics

now i grew up down an old dirt road in a town you wouldn't know
my pops picked the place up for 1500 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
that's not me
i rarely drink from the bottle but i'll smoke a little weed
i still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go
in a town of 1200 off an old dirt road
and a country boy is all i'll ever be
now its been 12 years since i've 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
set up shop on Sunset he put me and paid my keep
if you wanna sell a million records boy you better listen to me
he said change you style lighten your smile you could lose a couple a pounds
you wanna live this life you better lose that wife do you need these friends around
no thats not me
cause the biggest things in life is friends and family
and I like my jeans and my old t shirts and a couple extra pound never really hurt
cause a country boy is all I'll ever be
cause Hanks taught me how to stay alive
you'll never catch me out the house without the 9 or 45
i got a big old tractor and a deisle truck
my idea of heavens chasing white tailed bucks
now as a country boy i know i can stay alive
now two flags fly above my land they really sum up how i feel
