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
