I once knew a boy from the country
That made the big time with his old guitar
He was always a singing, you don't never change
If you are a real country boy
Now you can take the boy from the country
But you can't take the country from the boy
You can take him to the city and make him a star
But you can't take the country from the boy
Now he don't care what goes on in the city
They can have the bright lights og the town
They can do what they please it don't bother him
He just wants to be a country boy
* Refrain
