When I was born as I recall The preacher didn't hold out any hopes at all He looked at me all pink and skin Thought he'd better dip me in the bath again I scuffed my shins on bigger things People throwin' rocks at the angel's wings But through it all I stood tall Even when my back was up against the wall The devil's daughter keep a calling out my name (Oh, baby I can take you down) I so sincerely want to cross the road and play the game Raise your hands, jump for joy Let's hear it for the country boy Raise your hands, jump for joy Let's hear it for the country boy Ooh, let's hear it for the country boy So I grow'd up became a man I took my daddy's teachings all across the land The journey's long but I must be strong And try to tell the difference 'tween right and wrong But devil's daughter keep a calling out my name (Ooh, come on I'll make you miserable) I've been to heaven now I'm never gonna see things the same (Oh, love to be with [Incomprehensible] boy) Raise your hands, jump for joy Let's hear it for the country boy Raise your hands, jump for joy Let's hear it for the country boy Ooh, let's hear it for the country boy (Raise your hands) Ooh, let's hear it for the country boy (Let's hear it now) Ooh, let's hear it for the country boy (Raise your hands) Ooh, let's hear it for the country boy (Ooh, oh yeah) Ooh, let's hear it for the country boy (Raise your hands) Ooh, let's hear it for the country boy (Raise your hands) Raise your hands, jump for joy Let's hear it for the country boy Raise your hands, jump for joy Let's hear it for the country boy Raise your hands, jump for joy Let's hear it for the country boy
