My Funny Book

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 hundred bucks, back in 1964,

My grandfather was 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 it's been 12 years since I sold my soul to the devil in LA. He said sign your name here on the dotted line and your songs they all will play.

He set up shop on Sunset, and put me up at the Marquee, he said "you wanna sell a million records boy, you better listen to me."

He said "change your style, whiten your smile, you could lose a couple of pounds. You wanna live this life, you better lose that wife, do you need your friends around?"

And I said no that's not me, cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family. And I like my jeans and my old T-shirt and a couple extra pounds never really hurt cause a country boy is all I'll ever be.

Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive, you'll never catch out the house without my .9 or .45.

I got a big orange tractor, and a diesel truck and my idea of Heavens is chasin white tail buck.

And as a country boy, you know I can survive.

Now two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I feel. One is the colors that fly high and proud, the red, the white, the blue.

The other ones got a rattlesnake with a simple statement made. "Don't tread on me" is what it says and I'll take that to my grave.

Because, this is me! I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs.

And I've said it before and I'll say it again, cause I've needed government to hold my hand.

And I've said it before but I'll say it again, cause my family's always fought and died to save this land and a country boy is all I'll ever be yeah.

I love my country, I love my guns, I love my family, I love the way it is now, and anybody who tries to change it, had to come through me. That should be all of our attitudes. Cause this is America, and a country boys good enough for me, son.
