[Verse 1]
I've skipped town at the stroke of eighteen
To take hold of a world i had only dreamed
The city life had me intrigued
Fast cars and women like i'd never seen
But i'm still a country boy
I haven't been back to the farm
I got a tattoo on my arm
I break some laws but i do no harm
Don't worry mamma you can rest your heart
Cause i'm still a country boy

[Chorus]
I cling tight to my roots
Ain't forgot how i was raised
There still dirt in my boots
Still read my bible everyday
I'm rough, tough, i run, have fun
Got no choice
Deep down still a country boy
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
I was raised working with my hands
Rat race living never in my plans
But i love this all night bright light land
That doesn't change who i am
Cause i'm still a country boy
[Chorus]
I cling tight to my roots
Ain't forgot how i was raised
There still dirt in my boots
Still read my bible everyday
I'm rough, tough, i run, have fun
Got no choice
Deep down still a country boy
Oh yeah

[Outro]
I'm rough, tough, i run, have fun
Got no choice
Deep down i'm just a country boy (a country boy)
Oh yeah
