Lyrics
Verse 1 Swingin’ my axe, stackin’ wood to the sky, Sweat on my face ‘neath a Kentucky July. Haulin’ hay till the barn’s filled high, Dirt on my boots, got that fire in my eye. Guitar’s my soul when the sun sinks low, Country’s my blood, it’s the life I know. Chorus I’m livin’ wild where the free winds play, Singin’ my truth from the night to the day. Stage lights or rivers, I’m holdin’ my joy… (pause) But I’m just a country boy. Verse 2 Poundin’ fence posts where the pastures meet, Fishin’ the creek with the world at my feet. Crowds may roar, but my heart’s still free, Singin’ for folks who got roots like me. From holler’s shade to the radio’s call, Country’s my home, and I’m givin’ it all. Chorus I’m livin’ wild where the free winds play, Singin’ my truth from the night to the day. Stage lights or rivers, I’m holdin’ my joy… (pause) But I’m just a country boy. Bridge Fields or fame, I don’t change my tune, Heart’s in the dirt ‘neath a Kentucky moon. Yeah, these boots were made for a two-lane road, Carryin' the weight of a story untold. Verse 3 City lights flicker, but they ain’t my flame, Give me the stars and a backroad’s name. Sing for the land where my spirit’s alive, With a swaggered grin and a country vibe. Crank up the music, let the good times roll, Country in my heart and country in my soul. Chorus I’m livin’ wild where the free winds play, Singin’ my truth from the night to the day. Stage lights or rivers, I’m holdin’ my joy… (pause) But I’m just a country boy. Outro Raise it up for the red, white, and true, I’m just a country boy, singin’ for you. Just a country boy, yeah that's me! (Fade out)
