Long as there's an old truck

With a boat hitched up

Backin' down a ramp at the lake

Long as there's a back road

Fields of gold

And a john deere rollin' all day.

Long as there's cold beer sittin' in a cooler

And a friday night in my future

Long as there's a band and a bar

With a tip jar ready to play.

Let there be country

Boots kickin' up dust

Let there be neon light and a sky full of stars above

Let there be mud tires, bonfires

And hometown girls and shotgun seats

Let there be country

For country boys like me.

Long as there's haystacks

And bass pro caps

And a redman ring on your jeans

Long as there's a heel, a toe, a do-si-do

Cuttin' loose with your honky tonk queen.

Long as there's trailers in the trailer parks

And songs about broken hearts

Long as there's a barrel of whiskey

Down in lynchburg, tennessee.

Let there be country

Boots kickin' up dust

Let there be neon light and a sky full of stars above

Let there be mud tires, bonfires

And hometown girls and shotgun seats

Let there be country

For country boys like me.

Long as there's good ole boys goin' fishin'

Let there be country

Long as there's apple pie sittin' in the kitchen

Let there be country

Long as there's a dog in a pickup bed

And all of god's people said.

Let there be country

Boots kickin' up dust

Let there be neon light and a sky full of stars above

Let there be mud tires, bonfires

And hometown girls and shotgun seats

Let there be country

For country boys like me.

Let there be country

For country boys like me.
