Lyrics
I'm the guy who wakes up long before the sun rise
I'm the man who knows the meaning of a sacrifice
Working hard it ain't nothing bout some bling bling
All about my family, lord help me
I've been called many things
Even redneck
Just because they don't respect guys from the south yet
I'm country boy and yeah I'm always proud of it
If you don't understand face it you're no country man
I didn't come from the city or
No back streets, coming from country so you better recognize
You can call me big country if you like the sound of it
But you're gonna respect or your just irrelevant.
I'm grown man
And a good man
Good with my hands even better with my trigger man
Love my country even if it troubles me
Can't be any other way cause it's how they raised me
I'm a country boy to the day that I die
Forget the cars with the rims
Give me four wheel drive
You can keep your champagne give me beer & shine
If you don't understand you're no country man
Now everybody thinks what a country boy is
Someone needs to let them know
We're all not driving loud monster trucks
And only hanging at the rodeos
Not a stereotype
Or things they write
I'm good guy type loving country life
I work real hard during the week son
And on weekends yeah I'm gonna play some (that's right)
Bump some Eric Church and some Kanye
I'm the outlaw beats down John Wayne
Northern girls come to town looking my way
But only southern girls get attention all day
Don't judge so fast on your soapbox
With your face so tight like botox
And you haters out there you can kick rocks
Don't understand it's a country boy thang
I'm a country boy to the day that I die
Forget the cars with the rims
Give me four wheel drive
You can keep your champagne give me beer & shine
If you don't understand you're no country man
