 There's a lotta small towns in this world,
   Just like the one  that I came from.
   Where any dream you have  is just a dream.
   It ain't nothin' that could truly  be done.
   Well I'm gon' tell y'all  a little story
   'Bout the day I set  out to leave.
   As I was loadin' up  and sayin' my goodbyes
   some redneck einstein  said  to me
   "Well I see ya' packed  up your suitcase,
   And I seen ya' throw  it in the truck.
   Headin' off to the big  town are ya?
   Hmmph! Well son  I wish ya' luck.
   Now I don't mean  to bust your bubble...
   But boy, the way  your thinkins' wrong.
   Go on out and chase  that foolish dream  of yours. Heh!
   You'll be back  before too long.
 (changes a little more to singing style)
  'Cause you a plowboy! You  ain't no  city boy!
   Wo you were born  with dirty hands
  Yeah you a plowboy  and your thinkin'  silly boy!
   Just tryin' to make  you understand.
 
 What you better do is put them overalls back on.
   Go on out and fix  that ol' barn  door.
   Keep your far fetched  fantasies to yo'self
   And fetch a load of feed  down at the country  store.
   Better yet, go on!  Have at it.
   Go see how high  you can fly.
   But you best be back  when that green leaf  comes in, boy!
   We gonna need your help  come July!
  Repeat chorus and then play chorus chords 4 times without words and at the end of the
 measure play an E or E7 instead of D.
 
 Well here I am a few years later.
   Sure come a long way  from that old farm.
   I got stocks and bonds  and a house with a cement  pond
   Got a genuine rolex  on my arm
   Well I'd like to ask  him what the taste  of crow is like.
   See him face the fact  that he was wrong.
   You see, I always knew  where I was headed
   But I never forgot  where I was from...  Yeeeeah..
 
 I'm a plowboy. I ain't no city boy
   Whoa I was born  with dirty hands.
  Look at me now,  boy!  Sho' is a pretty  boy!
   I could'nt make  ya' understand
  Go milk that cow  boy!  And that wood needs  splittin' boy
   And ya' best get back  to bailin' hay!
  Yeah I'm a plowboy  but now look whos'  silly boy!
   From now on be careful  what you say...  ya' hear?
