[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
