Country Boy's Dream

Watch out son, mmm
Yeah

Well, did you ever hear a hound dog
Baying in the hills
City boy?
And did you ever hear a bullfrog
Clapping on his gills
City boy?

Well, did you ever see a catfish
A jumping in the stream?
Well, I have buddy
And it's a country boy's dream
And I'm a country boy
Lord, I'm a country boy

Well, did you ever hear a wagon
Mowing across the lawn
City boy?
Did you ever see a cow
With a newly born
City boy?

Did you ever plow a field
With a mule and team?
Well, I have buddy
And it's a country boy's dream
I'm a cornbread buttermilk
Hand spanked country boy

Whoa, you can see I'm from the country
And you can tell it at a glance
I wear broke in shoes
Cotton shirts
Straw hats and a Levi pants

When I wake up in the morning
Down on the farm
City boy
You milk on a cow
And you clean out the barn
City boy

Well, you plow and you sow
And you work like a fool
Harvest that farm
Then put away the tools
I'm a cornbread buttermilk
Hand spanked country boy

Play it country guitar

Get it, get it, get it

Well, now with a nickel in your pocket
Did you ever go to town
Huh, city boy?
And like a millionaire you spread it
Till you spread it all around
City boy

First you spend a little here
And then you spend a little there
You horse it around
Till you cover the square
Oh, I'm a country boy
Yes, I'm a country boy

Well, you can tell I'm from the country
You can see it at a glance
I wear broke in shoes
Cotton shirts
Straw hats and a Levi pants

Ah, in a little white church
Down in the glade
City boy
Every Sunday morning
We would kneel and we would pray
City boy

Whoa, I remember getting down on my knees
And saying thank you, Lord, for making me
A little cornbread buttermilk
Hand spanked country boy

Whoa, I'm a cornbread
Hand spanked country boy
I'm a cornbread buttermilk
Hand spanked country boy
