Come Back as a Country Boy

Lyrics

[Chorus] When I die, I wanna come back as a country boy No, there ain't no better life if you ask me If my neck don't come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead 'Cause a country boy's all that I know how to be [Verse 1] My back is always breakin', my dogs are always barkin' My money has trouble makin' and my truck has trouble startin' I'm up before the sun, either haulin' hay or huntin' My work ain't ever done, but son, I wouldn't trade it for nothin' [Chorus] So, when I die I wanna come back as a country boy No, there ain't no better life if you ask me If my neck don't come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead 'Cause a country boy's all that I know how to be [Verse 2] Yeah, if y'all ain't in my drawl and a fish ain't on my wall And the whiskey don't burn goin' down My feet ain't in a holler, and blue ain't on my collar Leave my Hank-crankin', beer-drinkin' ass in the ground [Chorus] Yeah, when I die I wanna come back as a country boy No, there ain't no better life if you ask me If my neck don't come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead 'Cause a country boy's all that I know how to be [Bridge] When I die I wanna come back as a country boy Live on this land like my old man did before me I don't wanna be born into money, where the boots don't ever get muddy 'Cause a country boy's all that I know how to be [Chorus] Yeah, when I die I wanna come back as a country boy No, there ain't no better life if you ask me If my neck don't come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead 'Cause a country boy's all that I know how to be Yeah, a country boy's all that I know how to be
