a lot of things a country boy learns in life
how to shoot a gun and how to use a knife
but when i pulled into hershey
i took my guitar up on the big stage. that night i did the best i could
me and the boys played pretty darn good
and learned how bocephus shakes 'em down
push it up to ten and crank it
if you wanna keep your woman
live it just like he sings it
there was a smokin' little blonde sittin' next to me
said how'd you make it here from tennessee
she must've been late and didn't catch my show
but when you play at 7 that's the way it goes
so i tipped my hat and we sang along to where have all my rowdy friends gone
i climbed up on the bus after the show
had a shot of jim beam and we hit the road
push it up to ten and crank it
you wanna keep your woman
live it just like he sings it
push it up to ten and crank it
you wanna keep your woman
live it just like he sings it
