[Verse 1]
Am C/G
I was raised in them woods, where the tall oaks stand
G Am
With a rifle in my hand, and a fishing rod in the sand
Am C/G
Grandma taught me to shoot, Pappa taught me to fish
G Am
In the heart of the wilderness, my one true wish
[Chorus]
Am C/G
Oh, I’m a country boy through and through
G Am
In these Nebraska river bottoms, under skies so blue
Am C/G
Hunting and fishing it’s in my blood
G* Am*
I’m just a river rat, misunderstood
[Verse 2]
Am C/G
As a young buck, Id’ roam those woods all day
G Am
Tracking deer through the thicket, finding my own way
Am C/G
Casting lines in the rivers, hoping for a bite
G Am
Underneath the stars, I’d sleep all through the night
[Chorus]
Am C/G
Oh, I’m a country boy through and through
G Am
In these Nebraska river bottoms, under skies so blue
Am C/G
Hunting and fishing it’s in my blood
G* Am*
I’m just a river rat, misunderstood
[Verse 3]
Am C/G
Now, I am older, but I still call the woods my home
G Am
Teaching all the young’uns, so they’ll never be alone
Am C/G
Passing down the stories, the secrets of the land
G Am
In these wild, rugged hills, where I’ll always stand.
[Outro]
Am C/G
So, I’ll keep hunting, keeping on fishing with pride
G Am
In these woods, my heart and soul will forever reside
Am C/G
I’m a Willie Nelson kind of soul, you see
G Am
A country boy, wild and free, just like me
[Chorus]
Am C/G
Oh, I’m a country boy through and through
G Am
In these Nebraska river bottoms, under skies so blue
Am C/G
Hunting and fishing it’s in my blood
G* Am*
I’m just a river rat, misunderstood
[Chorus]
Am C/G
Oh, I’m a country boy through and through
G Am
In these Nebraska river bottoms, under skies so blue
Am C/G
Hunting and fishing it’s in my blood
G* Am*
I’m just a river rat, misunderstood
