  • Verse 1
    Now, 
    grew 
    up 
    down 
    an 
    old 
    dirt 
    road 

    in 
    town 
    you 
    wouldn't 
    know 

    My 
    Pops 
    picked 
    the 
    place 
    up 

    for 
    fifteen 
    hundred 
    bucks 

    back 
    in 
    nineteen- 
    sixty- 
    four 

    Verse 2
    My 
    grandfather 
    was 
    drinker, 

    back 
    in 
    the 
    day, 
    he 
    put 
    'em 
    down 

    But 
    war 
    is 
    known 
    to 
    change 
    man 

    and 
    the 
    whiskey's 
    known 
    to 
    change 
    man 

    Chorus 1
    But 

    that's 
    not 
    me 

    rarely 
    drink 
    from 
    the 
    bottle 

    but 
    I'll 
    smoke 
    little 
    weed 

    still 
    live 
    in 
    the 
    sticks 

    where 
    you 
    wouldn't 
    go 

    In 
    town 
    of 
    twelve 
    hundred 

    off 
    an 
    old 
    dirt 
    road 

    And 
    country 
    boy 

    is 
    all 
    I'll 
    ever 
    be 

    Verse 3
    Now, 
    its 
    been 
    twelve 
    years 

    since 
    sold 
    my 
    soul 

    to 
    the 
    devil 
    in 
    L. 
    A. 

    He 
    said 
    sign 
    your 
    name 
    here 

    on 
    the 
    dotted 
    line 

    and 
    your 
    songs, 
    they 
    all 
    will 
    play 

    Verse 4
    He 
    set 
    up 
    shop 
    on 
    Sunset, 

    he 
    put 
    me 
    up 
    at 
    the 
    Marquee 

    He 
    said 
    "You 
    want 
    to 
    sell 

    million 
    records 
    boy, 

    you 
    better 
    listen 
    to 
    me" 

    He 
    said 
    "Change 
    your 
    style, 

    whiten 
    your 
    smile, 

    you 
    could 
    lose 
    couple 
    o' 
    pounds 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    want 
    to 
    live 
    this 
    life, 

    you 
    better 
    lose 
    that 
    wife, 

    do 
    you 
    need 
    your 
    friends 
    around?" 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    said, 

    no, 
    that's 
    not 
    me 

    'Cause 
    the 
    biggest 
    things 
    in 
    life 

    are 
    your 
    friends 
    and 
    fami
    ly 

    And 
    like 
    my 
    jeans 
    and 
    my 
    old 
    t-shirts 

    And 
    couple 
    extra 
    pounds 
    never 
    really 
    hurt 

    'Cause 
    country 
    boy 

    is 
    all 
    I'll 
    ever 
    be 

    Bridge 1
    'Cause 
    Hank 
    taught 
    me 
    just 

    how 
    to 
    stay 
    a
    live 

    You'll 
    never 
    catch 
    me 
    out 
    the 
    house 

    without 
    my 
    .9 
    or 
    .4

    got 
    big 
    orange 
    tractor 
    and 
    diesel 
    truck 

    And 
    my 
    idea 
    of 
    heaven 
    is 
    chasing 

    whitetail 
    bucks 

    And 
    as 
    country 
    boy, 

    know 
    can 
    sur
    vive 

    Verse 5
    Now, 
    two 
    flags 
    fly 
    above 
    my 
    land 

    that 
    really 
    sum 
    up 
    how 
    feel 

    One 
    is 
    the 
    colors 
    that 
    fly 
    high 
    and 
    proud, 

    the 
    red, 
    the 
    white, 
    the 
    blue 

    Verse 6
    The 
    other 
    one's 
    got 
    rattlesnake 

    with 
    simple 
    state
    ment 
    made 

    "Don't 
    Tread 
    On 
    Me" 
    is 
    what 
    it 
    says 

    and 
    I'll 
    take 
    that 
    that 
    to 
    my 
    grave 

    Chorus 3
    Be
    cause 

    this 
    is 
    me 

    I'm 
    proud 
    to 
    be 
    American 

    and 
    strong 
    in 
    my 
    be
    liefs 

    And 
    I've 
    said 
    it 
    it 
    before 
    but 
    I'll 
    say

    never 
    needed 

    govern
    ment 
    to 
    hold 
    my 
    hand 

    And 
    I've 
    said 
    it 
    before 
    but 
    I'll 
    say 
    it 
    again 

    'Cause 
    my 
    family's 
    always 
    fought 
    and 
    died 

    to 
    save 
    this

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
