a country boy's life well lived

5:30 in the morning

i hit the ground running

long before the sun comes up

i'm a man on a mission

my honey's in the kitchen

pouring coffee in my favorite cup

i'm racing out the door

jumping off the porch

for the bills

i gotta get paid

from my boots to my chevy

i'm rough tough and ready

son i'm american made

i'm working and a praying

sweating and a breaking my back

before the weekend hits

on the tractors and the farms

fences and the barns

i know how sweet it is

i'm a flag waving

god fearing

honky-tonk cold beer

friday night goodnight kiss

you can call it what you want

it's a country boy's life well lived

from the factories and the mills

prairies and the hills

there's a whole lotta fellas like me

just a climbing and a clawing

drilling and a sawing

everyday just to make ends meat

we're the five o-clock crowd

we love to get loud

in our wranglers and pearl snap shirts

we're the salt of the earth

heart of the land

and our blood is as red as the dirt

we're working and a praying

sweating and a breaking our backs

before the weekend hits

on the tractors and the farms

fences and the barns

you know how sweet it is

we're a flag waving

god fearing

honky-tonk cold beer

friday night goodnight kiss

you can call it what you want

it's a country boy's life well lived

yeah we're working and a praying

sweating and a breaking our backs

before the weekend hits

on the tractors and the farms

fences and the barns

you know how sweet it is

we're a flag waving

god fearing

honky-tonk cold beer

friday night goodnight kiss

yall call it what you want

it's a country boy's life well lived

yall call it what you want

it's a country boys life well lived

you can call it what you want

it's a country boys life well lived
