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
Come on and tell this country boy
