Jimmy Nail - Country Boy Lyrics
Words and music by jimmy nailWhen I was born as I recallThe preacher didnt hold out any hope at allHe looked at me all pink and skinThought hed better dip me in the bath againI scuffed my shins on bigger thingsPeople throwin rocks at the angels wingsBut through it all I stood tallEven when my back was up against the wallThe devils daughter keep a calling out my nameI so sincerely want to cross the road and play the gameRaise your hands, jump for joyLets hear it for the country boyRaise your hands, jump for joyLets hear it for the country boySo I growd up became a manTook my daddys teachings all across the landThe journeys long but I must be strongAnd try to tell the difference tween right and wrongThe devils daughter keep a calling out my nameIve been to heaven! now Im never gonna see things the sameRaise your hands, jump for joyLets hear it for the country boyRaise your hands, jump for joyLets hear it for the country boy
