Tell A Country Boy Lyrics - It's America - Rodney Atkins

Now he ain't much for talking but he means every word he says 

And that color on his arms and neck ain't from no tanning bed 

Leaves no doubt about where he stands on the Chevy or the Lord 

Yeah, you can always tell a country boy, yeah 

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 piece 

He'll always take his own sweet time if you give him a choice 

Yeah, you can always tell a country boy

Yeah, you can always tell him but you can't tell him much 

'Cause all he is ever gonna be is who he always was 

A cross between his old man and his mama's 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 you let drive his truck when he's had too much to drink 

'Bout as true blue as Old Glory waitin' out there on the porch 

You can always tell a country boy 

Yeah, you can always tell him but you can't tell him much 

Sometimes his gears turn so slow you swear they're gonna rust 

From the way he bangs that old guitar to the gravel in his voice 

You can always tell a country boy 

Now you can drag him from the country every now and then 

But you can't drive them 40 acres out of him

Yeah, you can always tell him but you can't tell him much 

He's on the fence about a lot of things but on you his mind's made up 

'Cause he swears there's nothing sweeter 

Than the sweet sound of your voice 

You can always tell a country boy 

Whatever's on your heart, now come on and tell this country boy
