Upchurch Country Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say you gotta change your ways
Clean up your act and sing these songs
You gotta smile, get rid of those clothes
And put these new ones on
Well, I like how I dress
And my crooked smile ain't that wrong
I'll be damned, where's country music gone

[Chorus]
Yeah, I don't know but from one country boy to another
They ain't changin' my red neck or blue-collar
I'll still be sittin' here on this old tailgate
Jammin' to Lynyrd Skynyrd or some old-time Hank
You can take the boy way out of the country
But you ain't gonna take the country out of this boy

[Verse 2]
I bet people thought I was gonna sing
The same songs on the radio
But I can't write that textbook shit
I'm just singin' what I know
I might not sing the song
That charts on Billboard's number one
But I'll make sure you know every dadgum word
And your buddy's sing along
[Chorus]
Yeah, I don't know but from one country boy to another They ain't changin' my red neck or blue-collar
I'll still be sittin' here on this old tailgate
Jammin' to Lynyrd Skynyrd or some old-time Hank
You can take the boy way out of the country
But you ain't gonna take the country out of this boy

[Bridge]
Yeah, I don't need no mansion with them marble floors
I got a single-wide trailer with some lockin' doors
A truck that runs, a little money for gas
A few bucks on the side for Bud Light on draft
You can take the boy way out of the country
But you can't take the country out of this boy

[Chorus]
Yeah, I don't know but from one country boy to another
They ain't changin' my red neck or blue-collar
I'll still be sittin' here on this old tailgate
Jammin' to Lynyrd Skynyrd or some old-time Hank
You can take the boy way out of the country
But you ain't gonna take the country out of this boy
