Born and raised in the holler, where the mountains kiss the sky
A simple life, ain't no need to wonder why
With steel-toe boots and a heart as tough as nails
Country boy from West Virginia, got stories to tell
Granddad's shotgun, fishin' in the old creek bed
Mama's biscuits, Sunday prayers before we're fed
Pickin' banjo on that worn-out porch swing
Sweet summer nights, the crickets start to sing
Just because I drink beer, don't mean I'm a queer
Even though it's been shown, to lower testosterone in men
I'm a country boy through and through, living life without fear
And a cold one in my hand, ain't no tellin' when
Rusty old truck, she may not look like much
But she's gotten me through mud and snow and such
Sweet Maggie Sue, with hair of golden thread
Married in the fall, love that never fled
Sunsets over ridges, where my childhood still roams
Home to dirt roads and fields of honeycombs
Simple pleasures, keeps this heart in line
West Virginia hills, forever I'll call mine
Just because I drink beer, don't mean I'm a queer
Even though it's been shown, to lower testosterone in men
I'm a country boy through and through, living life without fear
And a cold one in my hand, ain't no tellin' when
