Rodney Atkins - Tell A Country Boy

He ain't much for talkin
But he means every word he says
Well that color on his arms and neck ain't from no tannin bed
Leaves no doubt bout where he stand on a chevy, or tha lord
Yea you can always tell a country boy
Now his idea of heaven is home sweet home east tennessee
But for a girl like you he would pull up roots and move down the road a peice
He'll always take his own sweet time if you give him a choice
Yea you can always tell a country boy

Yea you can always tell him but you can't tell him much
'Cause all he's ever gonna be is who he always was
A cross between his old man and his mommas pride and joy
You can always tell a country boy

He'll go off and take a long walk when he needs some time to think
Might even let ya drive his truck when he's had to much to drink
Bout as true blue as ol glory wavin out there on tha pourch
Yea you can always tell a country boy

Yea you can always tell him but you can't tell him much
'Cause all he's ever gonna be is who he always was
A cross between his old man and his mommas pride and joy
You can always tell a country boy

Now you can drag him from tha country every now and then
But you can't drag them forty acres outta him
Yea you can always tell him but you can't tell him much
He's on tha fence about alot of things but on you his minds made up
'Cause he swears theres nothing sweeter than tha sweet sound of your voice
You can always tell a country boy
Whatevers on your heart now come on and tell this country boy

Yea you can always tell him but you can't tell him much
'Cause all he's ever gonna be is who he always was
A cross between his old man and his mommas pride and joy
You can always tell a country boy
