Dan Slavin - Country Boy at Heart Lyrics

Sitting on the front porch
Watching the storm come in
Thunder rolling as the rain falls down
Flash of lightning now and then

The leaves start to flutter
The heat starts to break
Oh I love these summer storms
Reminds me of yesterday

Growing up in Kentucky
But I had to move away
My father was a military man
He had to go where they say

And leaving tore me apart
Cuz I'm a country boy at heart

We had it pretty good
My brothers and my friends
Spent all our time feeling
Like summer wouldn't end

Making s'mores around the bonfire
Going stomping through the creek
Us Southern boys were tough as nails
I think the city's made me weak

And it tears me apart
Cuz I'm a country boy at heart

What I miss most is the people
Some of best folks that I've met
Us boys had formed a friendship
That I won't soon forget

Spent our days in the barn yard
Our nights in the loft
But ill still get you back, Shawn
You told me the electric fence was off

But still I hate that we're apart
Cuz I'm a country boy at heart
Yeah I'm a country boy at heart

And I can't help but wonder
How it would have changed my life
If we never moved away
If I got to grow up right

Playing football for the whole town
Under the Friday night lights
Falling for the perfect girl
From high school sweet heart to wife

But instead we moved away
And had to start over again
Only had my family
Had to say goodbye to my friends

And it tore me apart
Cuz I'm a country boy at heart

One more thing about up north
And the people that I meet
They are all like their iced tea
Not as good and not as sweet

And it tears me apart

Cause I'm a country boy at heart
