Lyrics Country by Upchurch

They say you gotta change your ways
Clean up your act and sing these songs
You gotta smile, get rid of those clothes
And put these new ones on
Well, I like how I dress
And my crooked smile ain't that wrong
I'll be damned, where's country music gone

Yeah, I don't know but from one country boy to another
They ain't changin' my red neck or blue-collar
I'll still be sittin' here on this old tailgate
Jammin' to Lynyrd Skynyrd or some old-time Hank
You can take the boy way out of the country
But you ain't gonna take the country out of this boy

I bet people thought I was gonna sing
The same songs on the radio
But I can't write that textbook shit
I'm just singin' what I know
I might not sing the song
That charts on Billboard's number one
But I'll make sure you know every dadgum word
And your buddy's sing along

Yeah, I don't know but from one country boy to another
They ain't changin' my red neck or blue-collar
I'll still be sittin' here on this old tailgate
Jammin' to Lynyrd Skynyrd or some old-time Hank
You can take the boy way out of the country
But you ain't gonna take the country out of this boy

Yeah, I don't need no mansion with them marble floors
I got a single-wide trailer with some lockin' doors
A truck that runs, a little money for gas
A few bucks on the side for Bud Light on draft
You can take the boy way out of the country
But you can't take the country out of this boy

Yeah, I don't know but from one country boy to another
They ain't changin' my red neck or blue-collar
I'll still be sittin' here on this old tailgate
Jammin' to Lynyrd Skynyrd or some old-time Hank
You can take the boy way out of the country
But you ain't gonna take the country out of this boy
