Come Back as a Country Boy - Blake Shelton

When I die, I wanna come back as a country boy

No, there ain’t no better life if you ask me

If my neck don’t come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead

'Cause a country boy’s all that I know how to be

My back is always breaking, my dogs are always barking

My money has trouble making and my truck has trouble starting

I’m up before the sun, either hauling hay or hunting

My work ain’t ever done, but son, I wouldn’t trade it for nothing

So when I die I wanna come back as a country boy

No, there ain’t no better life if you ask me

If my neck don’t come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead

'Cause a country boy’s all that I know how to be

Yeah, if y’all ain’t in and a fish ain’t on my wall

And the whiskey don’t burn going down

My feet ain’t in a holler, and blue ain’t on my collar

Leave my Hank-cranking, beer-drinking ass in the ground

Yeah, when I die I wanna come back as a country boy

No, there ain’t no better life if you ask me

If my neck don’t come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead

'Cause a country boy’s all that I know how to be

When I die I wanna come back as a country boy

Live on this land like my old man did before me

I don’t wanna be born into money, where the boots don’t ever get muddy

'Cause a country boy’s all that I know how to be

When I die I wanna come back as a country boy

No, there ain’t no better life if you ask me

If my neck don’t come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead

'Cause a country boy’s all that I know how to be

Yeah, a country boy’s all that I know how to be
