"All American Country Boy" lyrics

All American Country Boy

I work a forty hour week
And I earn my keep
And I try to walk proud and tall
I keep my nose to the ground
I don't get behind
And I don't back up at all
Well my neck's a little red
My collar's blue
I sip a little coffee
And I drink a little booze

Cause I'm an all American country boy
I'm my daddy's spitting image
And my mama's pride and joy
There ain't nothing down home
That I really don't enjoy
Cause I'm an all American country boy

I drive a pickup truck
And I don't pass the buck
And I always speak my mind
I'm hooked on TV
Rolaids, and B.C.'s
And I know how to have a good time
I'm a little bit rowdy
And a little bit tame
Ain't no way I'm ever gonna change

Cause I'm an all American country boy
I'm my daddy's spitting image
And my mama's pride and joy
There ain't nothing down home
That I really don't enjoy
Cause I'm an all American country boy

Well I must admit
That I've mellowed a bit
Father Time can slow you down
I'm still doing all I used to do
It just takes a little longer now

Cause I'm an all American country boy
I'm my daddy's spitting image
And my mama's pride and joy
There ain't nothing down home
That I really don't enjoy
Cause I'm an all American country boy

I'm just a country boy
A good old country boy
