Lyrics Country Music Made a Man Out of Me - Due West

Country Music Made a Man Out of Me

I grew up listen to the radio
Learned everything little thing I was ever gonna need to know
I learned about lovin before I ever got kissed
All about fightin before I ever made a fist
Got a lesson in leavin never packed a bag
Smokin and drinkin, without a sip or a drag
Knew bout cheatin when I d never even broke a heart
I was king of the road, I never drove a car
Got stuck in prison but I never did time
Knew Jesus long before I saw the light that s right
I had a first class education that came absolutely free
Country music made a man out of me
I m no stranger to the rain
I m a ramblin man driving my life away
I m so lonesome I could cry
Lord help me make it through the night
I was country when it wasn t cool
Tougher than a boy named sue
Mama tried (mama tried) can t you see
Cause country music made a man out of me
Grandpa told me bout the good old days
Ronnie told me about smoky mountain rain
I believed when Johnny said he walked the line
And dreamed about Deana and strawberry wine that was fine
My teachers taught me well and it ain t hard to see
Country music made a man out of me
I m no stranger to the rain
I m a ramblin man driving my life away
I m so lonesome I could cry
Lord help me make it through the night
I was country when it wasn t cool
Tougher than a boy named sue
Mama tried (mama tried) can t you see
Cause country music made a man out of me
I m no stranger to the rain
I m a ramblin man driving my life away
I m so lonesome I could cry
Lord help me make it through the night
I was country when it wasn t cool
Tougher than a boy named sue
Mama tried (mama tried) can t you see
Cause country music made a man out of me
This country boy will survive
40 hour week, workin 9 to 5
I m still crazy but I act naturally
Country music made a man out of me
