Bb F C
There's a lot of small towns in this world
Bb F C
Just like the one that I came from
Bb F C
Where any dream you have is just a dream
Bb F C
It ain't nothin' that can truly be done
Well I'm gonna tell ya'll a little story
About 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 you packed up your suitcase
And I seen ya throw it in the truck
Headed off to the big town are ya
Well son I wish ya luck
Now I don't mean to bust your bubble
But boy the way you're thinkin's wrong
Go on out and chase that foolish dream of yours
You'll be back before too long
CHORUS:
Bb F C
'Cause you're a plowboy, you ain't no city boy
Bb F C
Yeah you were born with dirty hands
Bb F C
Yeah you're a plowboy, and you're thinkin' silly boy
Bb F C
Just tryin' to make you understand
What you better do is put them overalls back on
Go out and fix that old barn door
Keep your far-fetched fantasies to yourself
Go 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
CHORUS
SOLO: Bb F C

Bb F C D
Well now here I am a few years later
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
Bb F C
Yeah I'm a plowboy, I ain't no city boy
Bb F C
Whoa I was born with dirty hands
Bb F C
Look at me now boy, sure is a pity boy
Bb F C
I couldn't make ya understand
Bb F C
Go milk that cow boy, and that wood needs splittin' boy
Bb F C
And you best get back to bailin' hay
Bb F C
Yeah I'm a plowboy, but now look who's silly boy
Bb F C
From now on be careful what you say, ya hear?
