Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Down the road where the blacktop ends

You can find Colt Ford with all his friends

We're used to gravel roads and fishing with cane poles

Wasn't no swimming pools, just swimming holes

[Verse 2]

We was dirt road poor and cane switched raised

I've been came a long way since back in the day

Been around the world twice, seen all fifty states

Ate on thousand dollar china, but love some paper plates

There ain't nothing wrong with them big city lights

But me, I prefer them slow country nights

Where I can see the darkness come in and go

Most folks is honest and they all speak slow

[Verse 3]

You can leave your door open, ain't nothing'll happen

Most country folks sing, but I couldn't, so I'm rapping

I wanna show y'all where I come from

And invite y'all down to any country town

[Verse 4]

Now, before I pack my things and leave

There's something I need y'all to understand

I seen a lot of things in my lifetime

That's why I walk the line

I'm just a simple man

And not anything for cheap thrills

But all my scars heal

So don't you ever cry for me

'Cause I ain't ashamed where I'm from

You always will come to take a ride through the country

[Verse 5]

Up, dressed and gone by 5 AM

He's country and he's rapping, we gots to play him

Folks been waiting for someone like me

To give 'em some hot beats and spit that country

[Verse 6]

My jeans don't sag, they fit, and kinda tight

Got on a white T-shirt, know nothing but work

Daylight till dark, that's how I was bred

And I'm gon' keep being country till the day I'm dead

[Verse 7]

See, country folks eat biscuits called cat heads

BBQ, baked beans, sweet tea and white bread

We like to fish and hunt, ain't scared of a fight

Love the good Lord and believe in doing right

[Verse 8]

Got four-wheel drives, some got mud on 'em

You can keep your Rolls Royce 'cause, baby, we don't want 'em

So now y'all know exactly who I am

And if you ain't into that, I don't give a damn

[Verse 9]

Now, before I pack my things and leave

There's something I need y'all to understand

I seen a lot of things in my lifetime

That's why I walk the line

I'm just a simple man

And not anything for cheap thrills

But all my scars heal

So don't you ever cry for me

'Cause I ain't ashamed where I'm from

You always will come to take a ride through the country

[Verse 10]

You might see me on your TV, but, honey, that don't mean a thing

You see, I'm still that same old country boy

And that's all I'll ever be

And sometimes those bright lights blind me

And make it hard for me to see

But when I need to be reminded

I take a ride through the country

[Verse 11]

At about 5 o'clock on Friday afternoon

Them country boys head down to the local saloon

You're welcome to stop in and have a cold bottle

Big city boys and stuck up super models

We don't care where you're from as long as you polite

'Cause push come to shove and every one of us will fight

[Verse 12]

We mostly easy like Sunday morning

Ol' Colt came here to give y'all fair warning

Country folks won't be pushed around

And there's some of us living in every town

We believe in the Bible and the USA

Work hard for what you want, it's the American way

[Verse 13]

Nobody owe you nothing, supposed to earn your keep

But in a hard days work, get a good night sleep

I know some of y'all think ol' Colt's kinda odd

But I'm loud, proud and country by the grace of God

[Verse 14]

Now, before I pack my things and leave

There's something I need y'all to understand

I seen a lot of things in my lifetime

That's why I walk the line

I'm just a simple man

And not anything for cheap thrills

But all my scars heal

So don't you ever cry for me

'Cause I ain't ashamed where I'm from

You always will come to take a ride through the country
