He aint much for talkin, 
But he means every word he says, 
Well that color on his arms and neck aint from no tannin bed, 
Leaves no doubt bout where he stand on a chevy, or tha lord, 
Yea you can always tell a country boy 

Now his idea of heaven is home sweet home east tennessee 
But for a girl like you he would pull up roots and move down the road a peice 
He'll always take his own sweet time if you give him a choice 
Yea you can always tell a country boy 

Yea you can always tell him but you cant tell him much 
Cuz all he's ever gonna be is who he always was 
A cross between his old man and his mommas pride and joy 
You can always tell a country boy 

He'll go off and take a long walk when he needs some time to think 
Might even let ya drive his truck when he's had to much to drink 
Bout as true blue as ol glory wavin out there on tha pourch 
Yea you can always tell a country boy 

Yea you can always tell him but you cant tell him much 
Sometimes his gears turn so slow you swear there gonna rust 
From tha way he bangs that ol guitar to tha gravel in his voice 
You can always tell a country boy 

Now you can drag him from tha country every now and then 
But you can't drag them forty acres outta him 
Yea you can always tell him but you can't tell him much 
He's on tha fence about alot of things but on you his minds made up 
Cuz he swears theres nothing sweeter than tha sweet sound of your voice 
You can always tell a country boy 
Whatevers on your heart now come on and tell this country boy
