Yeah you can't take the boy from the country
But you can't take the country from the boy
Take him into town but he'll turn that city down
You can't take the country from the boy

You can't take the boy from the country
Dress him up until he's looking smart
All those fancy clothes will never change him
He'll still be a country boy at hart

Yeah you can't take a boy from the country...

When he's old enough to make a living
The country boy will move into town
He'll work hard and save of all his money
Just to buy a farm where he can settle down

Yeah you can't take a boy from the country...

When it comes to women he's a lover
His country grin he'll give 'em every time
When he'll find a girl he wants to marry
You casn bet she'll be that good old fashioned kind

Yeah you can't take a boy from the country...
You can't take the country from the boy
You can't take the country from the boy
