More rummaging thru the backup drive.  Wrote this in '95.  Wrote it in my van on one of my numerous drives between VA and PA during the last year my dad was alive.  This became my 'fight song' for a while.  Hope you like it.  DD

Lyrics

I'm a country boy, I see what I see, I say what I mean, I'll be what I'll be

I learned from the land, you reap what you sow
If the sweet rain don't fall, your seed will not grow

I learned from the animals, watched their fightin' and love
Watched them raise up their babies, watched them give up their blood

I'm a country boy, I see what I see, I say what I mean, I'll be what I'll be

I live my life simply, bringin' life from the earth
Working the fields I've known since birth

Some men love cities, skyscrapers and gold
This land is my blood, this river's my soul


I'm a country boy, can't you see what I see, then say what you mean, I'll be what I'll be

I'm a country boy, I see what I see, I say what I mean, I'll be what I'll be

Thanks for listening!

Thought I'd commented on this earlier...

Love it. I can hear what you mean by "fight song" - I love the way you sing "I'm a country boy, I see what I see, I say what I mean, I'll be what I'll be"

   All that I need
Is just a piece of paper
To say a few lines
Make up my mind
So she can read it later
When I'm gone
