I see the look in your eyes I know I'm simple and plain A country boy can't survive too many ways in your game So you can say what you will about your helping hand I know I'll never be more than just your dumb white trash Life in a country ghetto Love touches us all yes we're black and we're white Out here in the cut still living side by side So never mind what you've seen and just forget what You've heard Another ignorant redneck just some Hollywood words Life in a country ghetto No I'm not tame The only voice that speaks for me speaks from this clay Little boy you ain't never take a dime from the man Starve to death before you live by a government handout They call us poverty Life in a country ghetto Life in a country ghetto Life in a country ghetto Life in a country ghetto
