Lyrics
VERSE
I was raised in the country educated in the city
My folks tried to take the country out of me
I studied hard and I learned alot but most of the things I forgot
And I never graduated with a degree.
CHORUS
I'm just a country boy thats all I'll ever be
No matter how hard they try they're wasting their time on me
I married a country girl from the hills of Tennessee
And I'm just a country boy thats all I'll ever be.
VERSE
Cotton fields and catfish ponds and the old magnolia trees
A mason jar filled with Grandma's ice cold tea
Shuckin' corn and snappin' beans a pone of cornbread
pass the peas
Thats what livin' in the country was for me.
