Key: B major

Verse 1
C#m C#m 
 
Now, I     grew up down an old dirt road
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
in a town you wouldn't know
B B 
 
My Pops picked the place up
F# F# 
 
for fifteen hundred bucks
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
back in nineteen- sixty- four

Verse 2

C#m

My grandfather was a drinker,

B

F#

back in the day, he put 'em down

B

F#

But a war is known to change a man

B

C#m

and the whiskey's known to change a man

Chorus 1
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
But
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
that's not me
B B 
 
I rarely drink from the bottle
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
but I'll smoke a little weed
B B 
 
I still live in the sticks
F# F# 
 
where you wouldn't go
B B 
 
In a town of twelve hundred
C#m C#m 
 
off   an old dirt road
B B 
 
And a country boy
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
is all I'll ever be

Verse 3
C#m C#m 
 
Now, its been  twelve years
since I sold my soul
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
to the devil in L.  A.
B B 
 
He said sign your name here
F# F# 
 
on  the dotted line
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
and your songs, they all will play

Verse 4
C#m C#m 
 
He set   up shop on Sunset,
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
he put me up at the Marquee
B B 
 
He said "You want to sell
F# F# 
 
a million records boy,
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
you better listen to    me"
B B 
 
He said "Change your style,
F# F# 
 
whiten your smile,
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
you could lose a couple o'    pounds
B B 
 
And if you want to live this life,
F# F# 
 
you better lose that wife,
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
do you need your friends around?"

Chorus 2
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
And I said,
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
no, that's not me
B B 
 
'Cause the biggest things in life
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
are your friends and family
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
And a couple extra pounds never really hurt
B B 
 
'Cause a country boy
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
is all I'll ever be

Bridge 1
E E 
 
'Cause Hank taught me just
F# F# 
 
C#m C#m 
 
how to stay alive
E E 
 
You'll never catch me out the house
F# F# 
 
C#m C#m 
 
without my .9  or .45
E E 
 
F# F# 
 
I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck
C#m C#m 
 
And my    idea of heaven is chasing
whitetail bucks
E E 
 
And as a country boy,
F# F# 
 
G# G# 
 
I know I can survive

Verse 5

C#m

Now, two flags fly above my land

B

F#

that really sum up how I feel

B

F#

One is the colors that fly high and proud,

B

C#m

the red, the white, the blue

Verse 6

C#m

The other one's got a rattlesnake

B

F#

with a simple statement made

B

F#

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

B

C#m

and I'll take that that to my grave

Chorus 3
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Because
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
this is me
B B 
 
I'm proud to be American
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
and strong in my beliefs
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
And I've said it it before but I'll say it again
B B 
 
'Cause I've never needed
C#m C#m 
 
government  to hold my hand
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
And I've said it before but I'll say it again
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
'Cause my family's always fought and died
to save this land
B B 
 
And a country boy
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
C#m C#m 
 
is all I'll ever be
B B 
 
C# C# 
 

Outro 1
[Battle Hymn of the Rebublic]
C# C# 
 
(I  love my country, I love my guns,
I love my family
I love the way it is now,
and anybody that tries to change it
Has to come through me,
that should be all our attitudes
'Cause this is America and a country boy
is good enough for me, son)
[Fade out]
