I'm a Country Boy old DD original vox and gtr

[dobrodaddy]

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

[Farrell Jackson]

Good song Geo! The acoustic tone is very warm and rich sounding...nice one.

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"

[Burtog]

Geo, this is something else, proper singer-songwriter stuff, good lyrics a voice and guitar, you dont need more than that when you sound this good!

[Kenny B]
