Intro.

Oooh... as I recall

When I was born as I recall,
Preacher didn't hold out much hope at all
He looked at me all pink and skin,
Thought held better dip me in the bath again
Scuffed my shins on bigger things,
People throwing rocks at the angels wings
Through it all I stood tall,
Even when my back was up against the wall

The Devils daughter keep a calling out my name
My soul sincerely wanna 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

So I growed up became a man,
I took my daddies teaching all across the land
Journeys long but I must be strong,
Try to tell the difference 'tween right and wrong

The Devils daughter keep a calling out my name
I've been to heaven now I'm never gonna see things the same

So 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...
Let's hear it yeah
And raise your hands...
Oooh yeah
Raise your hands...
Let's hear it for the country boy
Raise your hands...
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
Raise your hands, jump for joy
Let's hear it for the country boy
