Tell a Country Boy Lyrics

(D) x 4 measures
Now he ain't much for talkin', but he means every word he says
And that color on his arms and neck ain't from no tanning bed
Leaves no doubt 'bout where he stands on a Chevy or the Lord
Yeah, you can always tell a country boy, yeah | ---
Now his idea of heaven is home sweet home east Tennessee
But for a girl like you he would pull up roots
And move down the road a piece
He'll always take his own sweet time, if you give him a choice
Yeah, you can always tell a country boy
horus
Yeah, you can always tell him but you can't tell him much
'Cause all he's ever gonna be is who he always was
A cross between his old man and his momma's pride and joy
You can always tell a country boy | ---
He'll go off and take a long walk when he needs some time to think
Might even let you drive his truck when he's had too much to drink
'Bout as true blue as Old Glory waitin' out there on the porch
Yeah, you can always tell a country boy
horus
Yeah, you can always tell him, but you can't tell him much
Some- times his gears'll turn so slow, you swear they're gonna rust
You can always tell a country boy
ridge
You can drag him from the country every now and then
But you can't drag 'em forty acres out of him
horus
Yeah, you can always tell him, but you can't tell him much
He's on a fence about a lot of things, but on you his mind's made up
'Cause he swears there's nothin' sweeter than the sweet sound of your voice
You can always tell a country boy
What- ever's on your heart
Now come on and tell this country boy
