Country Boy - Jimmy Nail

When I was born as I recall

The preacher didn’t hold out any hopes at all

He looked at me all pink and skin

Thought he’d better dip me in the bath again

I scuffed my shins on bigger things

People throwin' rocks at the angel’s wings

But through it all I stood tall

Even when my back was up against the wall

The devil’s daughter keep a calling out my name

(Oh, baby I can take you down)

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

Raise your hands, jump for joy

Let’s hear it for the country boy

Raise your hands, jump for joy

Let’s hear it for the country boy

Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy

So I grow’d up became a man

I took my daddy’s teachings all across the land

The journey’s long but I must be strong

And try to tell the difference 'tween right and wrong

But devil’s daughter keep a calling out my name

(Ooh, come on I’ll make you miserable)

I’ve been to heaven now I’m never gonna see things the same

(Oh, love to be with boy)

Raise your hands, jump for joy

Let’s hear it for the country boy

Raise your hands, jump for joy

Let’s hear it for the country boy

Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy

(Raise your hands)

Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy

(Let's hear it now)

Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy

(Raise your hands)

Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy

(Ooh, oh yeah)

Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy

(Raise your hands)

Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy

(Raise your hands)

Raise your hands, jump for joy

Let’s hear it for the country boy

Raise your hands, jump for joy

Let’s hear it for the country boy

Raise your hands, jump for joy

Let’s hear it for the country boy
