Country Boy

(Verse 1) I grew up in the woods, a country boy at heart, Almost got killed by every creature from the start, Rattlesnakes hissing, cougars on the prowl, And those sneaky devils, ticks, they'd always make me howl. (Chorus) Fording the river when the floods came down, Got washed away, thought I'd surely drown, But I made it through, with a story to tell, Life in the wild, where the dangers dwell. (Verse 2) Went down to the south, fireflies filled the night, We ain't got those at home, what a magical sight, Seen plenty of gators, my cousin was the king, Just like Steve Irwin, fearless in everything. (Chorus) Fording the river when the floods came down, Got washed away, thought I'd surely drown, But I made it through, with a story to tell, Life in the wild, where the dangers dwell. (Bridge) Camping by the lake, year-round we’d stay, Raised a hillbilly, lived the woodland way, Learned the ways of rednecks, now I'm in the city lights, But I'll always be that country boy, surviving all the fights. (Verse 3) From the woods to the city, I've seen it all, But those wild days are what I always recall, The thrill of nature, the danger and the fun, A country boy at heart, under the city sun. (Chorus) Fording the river when the floods came down, Got washed away, thought I'd surely drown, But I made it through, with a story to tell, Life in the wild, where the dangers dwell. (Outro) So here's to the country, where I learned to be free, From the rattlesnakes to fireflies, and the tall oak trees, I'm a city boy now, but I'll never forget, The wild country life, and the dangers I've met.
