You can take a boy out of the country

But this old town will always be home

And we don't come from a lotta money but baby

I could never forget where I'm from

Small town kid knows how to be a [?]

Walk to skill while kids are busting him in damn clothes

It was mailbox baseball, stealing stop signs

Back then y'all that was the extent of the crime

And if you got caught you would never rat on your friends

Beg police not to call mama life would end

No guns at school, we ain't go that route

But there's a bully then the bully got punched in the mouth

We ain't playing on phones, we walked miles to fish

And there was always that girl if you had one wish

Passing notes in class, yes no or maybe

If you were lucky you can tell your friends that's my baby

The folks were kind to each other, they didn't need a reason

It was just like Christmas waiting on hard season

Tree houses that were made for staring at stars

Where this world takes us can't change who we are

You can take a boy out of the country

But this old town will always be home

And we don't come from a lotta money but baby

I could never forget where I'm from

Supper time is on don't even think about the heed

It was us versus them tag football of the street

Just grow [?] touch down, the kid was gone

Better get your ass on 'cause the street light's on

Everybody got a beating that's just how life goes

Ass whipped again if you ripped the church clothes

Didn't worry bout pages man screw those creeps

Let's build a ramp and jump our bikes clean over the creeks

Stole a beer from my daddy all 4 of us would share

What these kids doing today can't even compare

[?] on a game of truth or dare

We was living wild and free and we didn't have a care

Wish I could go back that's a country boy hoping

Back when you could stay with the door wide open

The whole world was perfect and now it's all shattered

Talking back when everybody's life mattered

You can take a boy out of the country

But this old town will always be home

And we don't come from a lotta money but baby

I could never forget where I'm from

You can take a boy out of the country

But this old town will always be home

And we don't come from a lotta money but baby

I could never forget where I'm from
