1. Let your boys be country,

                                                             G

    let 'em keep that red dirt on those boots.

                         A                                                                            D

    Make 'em proud of that middle nowhere he's got down in his roots.

                    D                                                                       G

    Let 'em work in a hay field sweating for a little summer cash,

                      A

    raise 'em hard, raise 'em tough,

                                                               D

    bring 'em up to have their brother's back.

 

              D

Let 'em ride rowdy trucks making backroad noise,

              G

let 'em hang out on Friday getting wild with the boys,

              D                                                                      G

let 'em go to the woods in the cold painted up camo green.

                          D

Yeah, let 'em chase, let 'em fall for a small-town girl,

                 G

let everything inside these county lines be his whole world.

                  D                                                                              G

You want him to grow up to be someone he's damn proud to be.

                                            D         - G

Mamas, let your boys be country !

 

                        D

2. Teach 'em yes ma'am and no ma'am,

                                                   G

    and never turn down a cold beer.

                            A

    Tell 'em there ain't nothing greener

                                                                     D

    than the grass you're standing on right here.

 

+  CHORUS

 

                                               D           - G

                          D

Yeah, let 'em chase, let 'em fall for a small-town girl,

                 G

let everything inside these county lines be his whole world.

                  D                                                                              G

You want him to grow up to be someone he's damn proud to be.

                                            D

Mamas, let your boys be country !

              D

Let 'em ride rowdy trucks making backroad noise,

              G

let 'em hang out on Friday getting wild with the boys,

              D                                                                      G

let 'em go to the woods in the cold painted up camo green.

                                            D         - G

Mamas, let your boys be country !
