D
Now I grew up down an old dirt road

     C                G
In a town you wouldnt know

         C                             G
My pop's picked a place up for fifteen hundred bucks

        C  D
back in 1964

   D
My grandfather was a drinker

            C             G
back in the day he put em down

      C               G
but a war is known to change a man

         C                D                 C        G
And the whiskeys known to change a man but...

          C            D
Thats not me

         C                              G                   C     D
I rarely drink from the bottle but Ill smoke a little weed

        C                            G
I still live in the sticks where you wouldnt go

     C                              D
In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road

      C              G                 C      D
And a country boy is all Ill ever be....

D
Now its been twelve years since I sold my soul

        C           G
To the devil in L.A.

        C                           G
He said sign your name here on the dotted line

         C                   D
And your songs they all will play

D
He set up shop on Sunset

          C             G
He put me up at the  Marquis

            C                      G
He said you want to sell a million records boy

           C         D
You better listen to me

         C                 G
He said change your style, whiten your smile

          C             D
you could lose a couple pounds

            C
And if you want to live this life

           G
You better lose that wife

      C                 D
Do ya need your friends around?

            C   G                 C     D
I said..          No thats not me

          C                               G                  C        D
Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family

      C                    G
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts

    C                         D
and couple extra pounds never really hurt

      C              G                  C      D
And a country boy is all Ill ever be....

       F*                 G*           D
Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive

            F*                                 G*    D
Youll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45

        F*                       G*
I got a big orange tracker and a diesel truck

D
My idea of heaven is chasing white tail bucks

         F*            G*            A
And as a country boy I know I can survive

D
Now two flags fly above my land

            C            G
That really sum up how I feel

C                          G
One is the colors that fly high and proud

    C                   D
The red, the white, the blue

 D
The other ones got a rattlesnake

        C               G
with a simple statement made

       C               G
"Don't Tread On Me" is what is says

         C               D
and I'll take that to my grave

          C   G         C     D
because.....    this is me

             C               G                  C      D
Im proud to be American and strong in my beliefs

          C                 G
And Ive said it before but Ill say it again

        C                            D
Cause I never needed a government to hold my hand

          C                 G
And Ive said it before but Ill say it again

          C                                 D
Cause my familys always fought and died to save this land

      C              G                  C      (Walk)
And a country boy is all I'll ever be....
