Rodney Atkins - Tell A Country Boy lyrics

Now he ain't much for talkin' But he means every word he says And that color on his arms and neck Ain't from no tanning bed Leaves no doubt 'bout where he stands On a Chevy or the Lord, yeah You can always tell a country boy 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's ever gonna be Is who he always was A cross between his old man And his momma'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 let you 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'll 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 You can drag him from the country every now and then, But you can't drag the forty acres out of him… Yeah you can always tell him But you can't tell him much He's on a fence about a lot of things But on you his mind's made up 'Cause he swears there's nothin' sweeter Than the sweet sound of your voice You can always tell a country boy Now whatever's on your heart
