V1:
Gettin up while it's still dark, trying to get me a head start.
Bass fishin on a pond in Lyons, a stringer full most of the time
Back home just in time to eat. Cream and syrup on a biscuit sure is sweet
Put on my cap and right back out the door when I was a country boy
Pre chorus:
I watched my daddy work it every day.
Nothing ever tough enough to stand in his way
Chorus:
Now I'm a countryman everyday I take a stand
In my ripped blue jeans on my atv my family's counting on me
I'm a countryman, man of steel, I been roughed up and I'm tough as nails
Bullet proof, I've been set free.
You don't want to mess with me, I'm a countryman
Doin the best I can
V2:
I used to wanna ride the ole John Deere, wishin I could rope a steer.
Spent some time camouflaged in a tree stand, wishin I could own the land.
Wondered how all the work got done. I was trying to have some fun
Back when life was full of joy, when I was a country boy
Last pre chorus:
Now I'm the daddy whose workin every day,
I can't let anything stand in my way
