Lyrics Country Boy - Jimmy Nail

Country Boy

When I was born as I recall
The preacher didn’t hold out any hopes at all
He looked at me all pink and skin
Thought he’d better dip me in the bath again
I scuffed my shins on bigger things
People throwin' rocks at the angel’s wings
But through it all I stood tall
Even when my back was up against the wall
The devil’s daughter keep a calling out my name
(Oh, baby I can take you down)
I so sincerely want to cross the road and play the game
Raise your hands, jump for joy
Let’s hear it for the country boy
Raise your hands, jump for joy
Let’s hear it for the country boy
Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy
So I grow’d up became a man
I took my daddy’s teachings all across the land
The journey’s long but I must be strong
And try to tell the difference 'tween right and wrong
But devil’s daughter keep a calling out my name
(Ooh, come on I’ll make you miserable)
I’ve been to heaven now I’m never gonna see things the same
(Oh, love to be with boy)
Raise your hands, jump for joy
Let’s hear it for the country boy
Raise your hands, jump for joy
Let’s hear it for the country boy
Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy
(Raise your hands)
Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy
(Let's hear it now)
Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy
(Raise your hands)
Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy
(Ooh, oh yeah)
Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy
(Raise your hands)
Ooh, let’s hear it for the country boy
(Raise your hands)
Raise your hands, jump for joy
Let’s hear it for the country boy
Raise your hands, jump for joy
Let’s hear it for the country boy
Raise your hands, jump for joy
Let’s hear it for the country boy
