Country Boy — текст песни (Jimmy Nail)

Words and music by jimmy nail



When I was born as I recall

The preacher didnt hold out any hope at all

He looked at me all pink and skin

Thought hed better dip me in the bath again



I scuffed my shins on bigger things

People throwin rocks at the angels wings

But through it all I stood tall

Even when my back was up against the wall



The devils daughter keep a calling out my name

I so sincerely want to cross the road and play the game



Raise your hands, jump for joy

Lets hear it for the country boy

Raise your hands, jump for joy

Lets hear it for the country boy



So I growd up became a man

Took my daddys teachings all across the land

The journeys long but I must be strong

And try to tell the difference tween right and wrong



The devils daughter keep a calling out my name

Ive been to heaven! now Im never gonna see things the same



Raise your hands, jump for joy

Lets hear it for the country boy

Raise your hands, jump for joy

Lets hear it for the country boy
