.18j221021b52315.jj1f
Words and music by Jimmy Nail
.18j221021b52315.jj1f

.18j221021b52315.jj1f
when I was born as I recall
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
the preacher didn't hold out any hope at all
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
he looked at me all pink and skin
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
thought he'd better dip me in the bath again
.18j221021b52315.jj1f

.18j221021b52315.jj1f
I scuffed my shins on bigger things
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
people throwin' rocks at the angel's wings
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
but through it all I stood tall
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
even when my back was up against the wall
.18j221021b52315.jj1f

.18j221021b52315.jj1f
the devil's daughter keep a calling out my name
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
I so sincerely want to cross the road and play the game
.18j221021b52315.jj1f

.18j221021b52315.jj1f
raise your hands, jump for joy
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
let's hear it for the country boy
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
raise your hands, jump for joy
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
let's hear it for the country boy
.18j221021b52315.jj1f

.18j221021b52315.jj1f
so I grow'd up became a man
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
took my daddy's teachings all across the land
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
the journey's long but I must be strong
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
and try to tell the difference 'tween right and wrong
.18j221021b52315.jj1f

.18j221021b52315.jj1f
the devil's daughter keep a calling out my name
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
I've been to heaven! now I'm never gonna see things the same
.18j221021b52315.jj1f

.18j221021b52315.jj1f
raise your hands, jump for joy
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
let's hear it for the country boy
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
raise your hands, jump for joy
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
let's hear it for the country boy
.18j221021b52315.jj1f
