Lyrics
Country Boy
I might not be a country boy
Like everybody knows
Weren?t no cornfields where
I come from around all
Those paved roads
As a kid I loved Johnny Cash
And played those records till
The player crashed
Refrain
Dreamed about a B.B. gun
And my first car was
Someone else?s trash yeah
Chorus
That?s where I come from yeah
That?s where I come from
Daddy never ever shot a deer
Momma was a waitress
3rd grade was my last year
Studied at home just to equal
My piers
Refrain
I still salute the flag
And pray to God
Hope for the grace to live well
And I love my Mom
Chorus
Solo
Never tasted a bit of moonshine
But my uncle made a hell of a raspberry wine
Family was what meant the most to us
I miss them all when it was all of us
Refrain
I feel as country as the day is long
I don?t own a tractor or a pretty farm
I?ll dream about it though
Till the day I die
I guess that?s what makes me
A country boy Chorus
