Now I grew up down an old dirt road
        C                B
In a town you wouldnt know
            C                      
My pop picked a place up for 
       B
fifteen hundred bucks
       C   D
Back in 1964


D
My grandfather was a drinker
             C             B
Back in the day he put em down
        C              B
But a war is known to change a man
         C                  D     
And the whiskeys known to change a
      C        B
 man but.....


            C      D
Thats not me
         C                         
I rarely drink from the bottle but 
     B                C     D
Ill smoke a little weed
        C                          
I still live in the sticks where 
  B
you wouldnt go
     C                             
In a town of twelve hundred off an 
 D
old dirt road
      C           B             
And a country boy is all Ill ever 
   C      D
be....


D
Now its been twelve years since I 
sold my soul
        C         B
To the devil in L.A.
Continues after the ad
        C                          
He said sign your name here on the 
 B
dotted line
         C                   D
And your songs they all will play


D
He set up shop on Sunset
          C              B
He put me up at the  Marquis
             C                    
He said you want to sell a million 
B
records boy
C                    D
You better listen to me


         C                 B
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
            B
You better lose that wife
      C                 D
Do ya need your friends around?


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

           C                       
Cause the biggest things in life 
       B               C        D
are your friends and family
      C                    B
And I like my jeans and my old 
tshirts
     C                         D
and couple extra pounds never really
 hurt
      C           B             
And a country boy is all Ill ever 
   C      D
be....


       F                   G   
Cause Hank taught me just how to 
          D
stay alive
              F                    
Youll never catch me out the house 
             G      D
without my .9 or .45
             F                  
I got a big orange tracker and a 
  G
diesel truck
  D
My idea of heaven is chasing white 
tail bucks
          F             G         
And as a country boy I know I can 
    Am
survive


D
Now two flags fly above my land
            C            B
That really sum up how I feel
           C               B
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               B
with a simple statement made
       C               B
"Don't Tread On Me" is what is says
         C               D
and I'll take that to my grave


          C   B          C   D
Because.....    this is me
             C               B    
Im proud to be American and strong
           C      D
 in my beliefs
          C                 B
And Ive said it before but Ill say 
it again
        C                          
Cause I never needed a government 
  D
to hold my hand
          C                 B
And Ive said it before but Ill say 
it again
          C                        
Cause my familys always fought and 
         D
died to save this land
      C           B                
And a country boy is all I'll ever 
C      D
be....
