Well go ahead and call me a country boy

I couldn't hide it even if I tried

I'm a country boy from the hills of old Virginia

Where the country folks got lots of country pride

Well daddy raised us working in a coal mine

But mama's love was always by his side

When things got rough we've just got rough with 'em

And through it all we've never lost our country pride

There's never been a better chance in hist'ry

To make our life a better way to live

And I think of this and I see blessing

Because we've never been afraid to give

Every time I see Ol' Glory wavin' somewhere

I feel my heart just swelling up inside

I'm proud to be a country boy from the greatest land of all

And I thank you Lord for all this country pride

Go ahead and smile when I say you all
