Country Boy

Words and music by jimmy nail

When I was born as I recall
The preacher didnt hold out any hope at all
He looked at me all pink and skin
Thought hed better dip me in the bath again

I scuffed my shins on bigger things
People throwin rocks at the angels wings
But through it all I stood tall
Even when my back was up against the wall

The devils daughter keep a calling out my name
I so sincerely want to cross the road and play the game

Raise your hands, jump for joy
Lets hear it for the country boy
Raise your hands, jump for joy
Lets hear it for the country boy

So I growd up became a man
Took my daddys teachings all across the land
The journeys long but I must be strong
And try to tell the difference tween right and wrong

The devils daughter keep a calling out my name
Ive been to heaven! now Im never gonna see things the same

Raise your hands, jump for joy
Lets hear it for the country boy
Raise your hands, jump for joy
Lets hear it for the country boy
