COUNTRY BOYS Lyrics by James Johnston

RAISED LIKE THAT

2022

[Verse 1]
Dirt bikes on weekends and trucks we'd take driftin'
Yeah, that's what we called toys
Old boots and blue jeans, no, there's no mistakin'
We were country boys (Woah)
[Pre-Chorus]
No city in sight, dirt road for miles
Yeah, it was a hell of a life
[Chorus]
'Cause we were buildin' bonfires on Friday nights
We were chasin' 'round them girls we liked
We were just some kids hangin' out in the middle of nowhere (Woah)
We were spendin' summers swimmin' in that creek
No, wе didn't have much, but we had all we need
It wasn't our choicе, I'm thankful I was
One of them small-town, knock-around country boys (Hey)
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh woah)
Yeah, one of them country boys (Oh woah)
[Verse 2]
Jump off the deep end to prove you're a real man
Was somethin' you couldn't avoid
Nah, it's just what you did when you grew up like this
As one of them country boys (Woah)
[Chorus]
Yeah, we were buildin' bonfires on Friday nights
We were chasin' 'round them girls we liked
We were just some kids hangin' out in the middle of nowhere (Woah)
We were spendin' summers swimmin' in that creek
No, we didn't have much, but we had all we need
It wasn't our choice, I'm thankful I was
One of them small-town, knock-around country boys
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh woah)
Yeah, one of them country boys (Oh woah)
Yeah, one of them country boys (Oh woah)
[Bridge]
Ah, no city in sight, dirt road for miles
Yeah, it was a hell of a life
[Chorus]
'Cause we were buildin' bonfires on Friday nights
We were chasin' 'round some girl we liked
We just some kids hangin' out in the middle of nowhere
Just like wind, we were spendin' summers swimmin' in that creek (Oh yeah)
No, we didn't have much, but we had all we need
It wasn't our choice (It wasn't our choice), I'm thankful I was (I'm thankful I was)
One of them small-town, knock-around country boys
[Post-Chorus]
I'm one of them country boys (Oh woah)
One of them country boys (Oh woah)
One of them country boys (Oh woah)
Yeah, one of them country boys
