Intro
When I die
I wanna come back as a country boy
No there ain’t 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
Is all that I know how to be
Verse
My back is always breakin’
My dogs are always barkin’
My money has trouble makin’
And my truck has trouble startin’
I’m up before the sun
Either haulin’ hay or huntin’
My work ain’t ever done but son
I wouldn’t trade it for nothin’ so
Chorus
When I die
I wanna come back as a country boy
No there ain’t 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
Is all that I know how to be
Verse
Yeah if y’all aon’t in my drawl
And a fish ain’t on my wall
And the whiskey
Don’t burn goin’ down
My feet ain’t in a holler
And blue ain’t on my collar
Leave my Hank crankin’
Beer drinkin’ a** in the ground
Chorus
When I die
I wanna come back as a country boy
No there ain’t 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
Is all that I know how to be

Bridge
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
Is all that I know how to be
Chorus
When I die
I wanna come back as a country boy
No there ain’t 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
Is all that I know how to be
Outro
Yeah
A country boy
Is all that I know
How to be
