Due West - Country Music Made A Man Out Of Me lyrics

rate me

I grew up listen to the radio

Learned everything little thing I was ever gonna need to know

I learned about lovin’ before I ever got kissed

All about fightin’ before I ever made a fist

Got a lesson in leavin’ never packed a bag

Smokin’ and drinkin’, without a sip or a drag

Knew ‘bout cheatin’ when I’d never even broke a heart

I was king of the road, I never drove a car

Got stuck in prison but I never did time

Knew Jesus long before I saw the light…that’s right

I had a first class education that came absolutely free

Country music made a man out of me

I’m no stranger to the rain

I’m a ramblin’ man driving my life away

I’m so lonesome I could cry

Lord help me make it through the night

I was country when it wasn’t cool

Tougher than a boy named sue

Mama tried (mama tried)…can’t you see

Cause country music made a man out of me

Grandpa told me ‘bout the good old days

Ronnie told me about smoky mountain rain

I believed when Johnny said he walked the line

And dreamed about Deana and strawberry wine…that was fine

My teachers taught me well and it ain’t hard to see

Country music made a man out of me

I’m no stranger to the rain

I’m a ramblin’ man driving my life away

I’m so lonesome I could cry

Lord help me make it through the night

I was country when it wasn’t cool

Tougher than a boy named sue

Mama tried (mama tried)…can’t you see

Cause country music made a man out of me

I’m no stranger to the rain

I’m a ramblin’ man driving my life away

I’m so lonesome I could cry

Lord help me make it through the night

I was country when it wasn’t cool

Tougher than a boy named sue

Mama tried (mama tried)…can’t you see

Cause country music made a man out of me

This country boy will survive

40 hour week, workin’ 9 to 5

I’m still crazy but I act naturally

Country music made a man out of me
