Country Boy (Acoustic Version)
Aaron Lewis
Town Line
[Verse 1]
    Dsus2                                 Cadd9              G6
Now, I grew up down an old dirt road in a town you wouldn't know
  Cadd9                                   G6                  Cadd9  Dsus2
My pop's picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks back in 1964
       Dsus2                             Cadd9             G6
My grandfather was a drinker, back in the day, he put him down
     Cadd9             G6                  Cadd9              Dsus2             Cadd9  G6
But a war is known to change a man and the whiskey's known to change a man, but
[Chorus 1]
           Cadd9    Dsus2
That's not me
         Cadd9                           G6             Cadd9  Dsus2
I rarely drink from the bottle but I'll smoke a little weed
        Cadd9                         G6
I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go
     Cadd9                         Dsus2
In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road
      Cadd9          G6             Cadd9  Dsus2
And a country boy is all I'll ever be
[Verse 2]
          Dsus2                                         Cadd9     G6
Now, it’s been twelve years since I sold my soul to the devil in L.A.
        Cadd9                        G6                 Cadd9                Dsus2
He said sign your name here on the dotted line and your songs, they all will play
   Dsus2                            Cadd9         G6
He set up shop on Sunset, he put me up at the Marquee
   Cadd9                            G6                      Cadd9     Dsus2
He said "you want to sell a million records boy, you better listen to me"
         Cadd9                 G6                      Cadd9          Dsus2
He said "change your style, whiten your smile, you can lose a couple pounds
       Cadd9                              G6                     Cadd9               Dsus2
If you want to live this life, you better lose that wife, do you need your friends around?"
              Cadd9    G6
And I said, no,
[Chorus 2]
           Cadd9    Dsus2
That's not me
          Cadd9                           G6             Cadd9    Dsus2
Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family
      Cadd9                G6
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts
      Cadd9                     Dsus2
And a couple extra pounds never really hurt
         Cadd9          G6             Cadd9    Dsus2
'Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be
[Bridge]
       F                   G              D
'Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive
             F                                  G      D
You'll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45
        F                        G
I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck
    C                            D
And my idea of heaven is chasing whitetail bucks
         F              G              A
And as a country boy, I know I can survive
[Verse 3]
     Dsus2                                   Cadd9        G6
Now, two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I feel
Cadd9                      G6                  Cadd9               Dsus2
One is the colors that fly high and proud, the red, the white, the blue
    Dsus2                                Cadd9            G6
The other one's got a rattlesnake with a simple statement made
       Cadd9           G6                    Cadd9           Dsus2
"Don't Tread On Me" is what is says and I'll take that to my grave
        Cadd9    G6
Because
[Chorus 3]
         Cadd9    Dsus2
This is me
         Cadd9           G6             Cadd9  Dsus2
Proud to be American and strong in my beliefs
         Cadd9                   G6
And I've said it before but I'll say it again
            Cadd9                      Dsus2
'Cause I've never needed government to hold my hand
         Cadd9                   G6
And I've said it before but I'll say it again
          Cadd9                              Dsus2
'Cause my family's always fought and died to save this land
      Cadd9          G6             Cadd9  Dsus2
And a country boy is all I'll ever be
