Empty again I hit the liquor drawer today
Damn that wretched captain led me down the wrong way
Tried to numb the pain I ended up drowning in a sea
Of lies and promises that somebody made to me
Couldn't crack the riddle I got caught staring at the crystal ball
I saw a beam of light shining down on a woman bathing under a waterfall
She caught me staring but just smiled and beckoned me to come
She said, "I like your style. Won't you stay for a while and tell me where did you come from"
I grew up in the holler; raised in the bitter cold
Times got rough but it made me tough and I dug out of that old hole
I learned to live off the land; how to hunt and how to shoot
I'm a country boy and I don't wanna wear nothin' but jeans, a flannel, and boots
Hey now macho man tell me what're you doing here
I can see the hurtin in your eyes as you throw back another beer
Don't you miss those teenage days
when we could wake up in the morning and not need pills or a pair of shades
Easy on the eyes, easy does it but somehow not for me
I can't see too far just what we are is emotional chemistry
A jack of all trades, a jackal, sent to steal my mind away
Well my heart ain't sold and no amount of gold is gonna lead my soul astray
I grew up in the holler raised in the bitter cold
Times got rough but it made me tough and I dug out of that old hole
Big bug in a suit and tie wearing shiny funeral shoes
I'm a country boy and I don't wanna wear nothin' but jeans, a flannel, and boots
The weather we got coming's always subject to change
Come snow or shine I'm gonna wear the same damn thing
'Cause I grew up in the holler raised in the bitter cold
The last best place on earth is where this good ole boy calls home
I learned to live off the land; how to cast and and how to shoot
I'm a country buy and I don't wanna wear nothin but jeans, a flannel and boots
And a ball cap too
