Down Home Boy Lyrics

by Levi Riggs

Born twenty miles outside of town, up a road only trucks and tractor's go down.
Two bare feet's how you got around, growin up a down home boy.
Ate what we planted in the ol red clay, sun burned from workin' in the field a day.
You use what you learn in the FFA , growing up a down home boy.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e64169-levi_riggs~down_home_boy_lyrics.html ]
(CHORUS) Down home boys have roots that don't break loose and pull up in the first hard rain. They got grandma's bible, grandpa's rifle and well water in their veins.
Could-a cut my first tooth on a silver spoon. Thank God I had no choice
But to grow a little backbone, growin' up a down home boy.

Pull your rusty bucket in that four year school, your Co-Op cap and your boots ain't cool.
The frat daddy's all make fun of you for growing up a down home boy.
But between that football scholarship and datin' that sorority president
And that degree you proved it don't hurt a bit, growing up a down home boy.

CHORUS

You buy 15 acres off your old man. Have a little baby just a quick as you can.
Then you and your woman get to try your hand at growin' up a down home boy.
CHORUS?
Could-a cut his first tooth on a silver spoon. thank God he's got no choice

But to grow a little backbone, growing up a down home, grow a little backbone growing up a down home boy, growing up a down home boy!
