[Verse 1]
Long as there's an old truck
With a boat hitched up
Backin' down a ramp at the lake
Long as there's a back road
Fields of gold
And a John Deere rollin' all day
Long as there's cold beer sittin' in a cooler
And a Friday night in my future
Long as there's a band and a bar
With a tip jar ready to play
[Chorus]
Let there be country
Boots kickin' up dust
Let there be neon light and a sky full of stars above
Let there be mud tires, bonfires
And hometown girls and shotgun seats
Let there be country
For country boys like me
[Verse 2]
Long as there's haystacks
And Bass Pro caps
And a Redman ring on your jeans
Long as there's a heel, a toe, a do-si-do
Cuttin' loose with your honky tonk queen
Long as there's trailers in the trailer parks
And songs about broken hearts
Long as there's a barrel of whiskey
Down in Lynchburg, Tennessee
[Chorus]
Let there be country
Boots kickin' up dust
Let there be neon light and a sky full of stars above
Let there be mud tires, bonfires
And hometown girls and shotgun seats
Let there be country
For country boys like me
[Bridge]
Long as there's good ole boys goin' fishin'
Let there be country
Long as there's apple pie sittin' in the kitchen
Let there be country
Long as there's a dog in a pickup bed
And all of God's people said
[Chorus]
Let there be country
Boots kickin' up dust
Let there be neon light and a sky full of stars above
Let there be mud tires, bonfires
And hometown girls and shotgun seats
Let there be country
For country boys like me
[Outro]
Let there be country
For country boys like me
