[Verse 1] Born on the back roads where the creek bends south Perry County dirt still on his mouth Mama said son there's a world out there So he packed a bag and a whispered prayer Drove west past the river, past the county line Left the only home he'd known behind [Chorus] He's the king of Perry County Not a crown, just a calloused hand Every door swings open when he's walking through He's a friend to every man He left and came back stronger Planted roots that'll always stand KING OF PERRY COUNTY With his people on his land [Verse 2] Found work in the flatlands, slept in his truck Learned that leaving home takes more than luck But every mile he put between those hills Just made him miss the morning and the whippoorwills So he turned around with a woman and a plan Came home a boy and stood up like a man [Chorus] He's the king of Perry County Not a crown, just a calloused hand Every door swings open when he's walking through He's a friend to every man He left and came back stronger Planted roots that'll always stand KING OF PERRY COUNTY With his people on his land [Bridge] (breath) He don't need a title or a fancy name Ask around the county, everybody knows If you need a hand he's already on his way THAT'S JUST HOW IT GOES [Chorus] He's the king of Perry County Not a crown, just a calloused hand Every door swings open when he's walking through He's a friend to every man He left and came back stronger Planted roots that'll always stand KING OF PERRY COUNTY With his people on his land [Outro] Perry County... Perry County... (breath) Good to be home
