I’m Still a Simple Country Boy

I’m Still a Simple Country Boy

A Poem by Bo Lanier

Well it's been a long hard road

To get here from where I come

From but now I'm a livin' high

On the hog and the best is yet

To come still you can't judge a

Book by its cover I have heard

Them say, you are and always

Will be the product of your long

Time gone yesterday...

In my heart I will always be

A SIMPLE COUNTRY BOY, the

South is in my blood. The mountains

The rivers and the corn fields I

Love, mama’s fresh baked apple pie's

Sunday picnics down by the river side

Well I'M STILL A SIMPLE COUNTRY

BOY and will be 'til the day I die...

Oh what I'd give to know then what

I know now, it isn't as simple now to

Be a superstar, I’ve been bought and

I've been sold...

Well I ain't the kind to throw in the towel

But heaven's I need a little time to myself

To get back to my roots and so it's back

To the country and back to where I really

Feel at home and where I am really alive

Don’t you know I'M STILL A SIMPLE? 

COUNTRY BOY and will be 'til the day

I die!
