Country Boy Stands His Ground

[Verse] In the heart of this one-light town, He's a man of few words, but he’ll stand his ground. Got a heart of gold, yet fists of steel, When talk gets cheap, he makes sure you feel. [Chorus] Don’t mess with a country boy, cause they don’t play, Talk is cheap, but he’ll make you pay. Catch a pair of hands, if you cross that line, In these parts, respect's always prime. [Verse 2] He's been working the land since he was knee-high, Knows every inch of these fields, every star in the sky. Hard work and honor are his kind of wealth, He ain't afraid to defend it, for him and himself. [Chorus] Don’t mess with a country boy, cause they don’t play, Talk is cheap, but he’ll make you pay. Catch a pair of hands, if you cross that line, In these parts, respect's always prime. [Bridge] Under the big oak tree, you’ll find him at night, With a six-string in hand, and a fire burning bright. Singing tales of old, and the lessons they send, In this life, you stand tall, you defend. [Verse 3] So heed this warning, from a country lad, Life's more than words and the latest fad. In the fields of green, where they earn their way, A man’s actions speak louder, louder every day.
