Country Boy Lyrics - Crocodile Shoes Ii - Jimmy Nail

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 [Incomprehensible] 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
