A Country Boy Can ( Nel Kershaw Isherwood)

[Verse 1] He ain’t much for talkin’ long Cap pulled low, old boots on Grease on his hands, dust on his tan Laugh like a creek in a coffee can Knows every rut in that red clay road Where to park when the sun turns gold He ain’t fancy, he ain’t grand But he’ll show you what a good man is firsthand [Chorus] A country boy can Fix what’s broke with his bare two hands Turn a field of dirt to a promised land Hold you close like you’re all he planned Love you steady when the world won’t stand Yeah, you bet your life a country boy can [Verse 2] He’ll spend his last dime on your Friday night Let you drive his truck ‘neath the fairground lights Sing off-key to your favorite band (oh yeah) Still hit every word when he grabs your hand He’ll say “I’m fine” when he’s worn clean through But he’ll stop the world for a tear from you Can’t say much, but he’ll always stand Right in the storm, ‘cause a country boy can [Chorus] A country boy can Fix what’s broke with his bare two hands Turn a field of dirt to a promised land Hold you close like you’re all he planned Love you steady when the world won’t stand Yeah, you bet your life a country boy can Oh, you bet your life a country boy can
