I rarely Cdrink from the bottle but Ill sGmoke a little weedC  D  
I still Clive in the sticks where you Gwouldnt go
In a Ctown of twelve hundred off an oDld dirt road
And a Ccountry boy is Gall Ill ever be...C.D  
[Verse]
DNow its been twelve years since I sold my soul
To the dCevil in L.A.G  
He said Csign your name here on the dGotted line
And your Csongs they all will Dplay
