I'm a backwoods boy
Headed out to my old deerstand back in the pines
Talkin' to the man in the moon way up in the sky

'Cause I'm a backwoods boy, grew up on a dirt road
'Cause I'm a backwoods boy, I'm a backwoods boy
Cause I'm a backwoods boy, grew up on a dirt road
I'm a backwoods boy

Waitin' on a deer, wishin' on a star, I'll always be true to my heart
Backwoods boy
If I'm here eight hours from now it'll be okay, yeah
I'm a backwoods boy with no better place to go
He told me to let my worries roll on by, yeah
I'm a backwoods boy with no better place to go
Sittin' on the back of Lynches River with a little campfire
Settled in, hidin' from the wind, waitin' on the sun

Gonna get me a ten point buck with 11 inch tines, yeah

Sleepin' on the ground, diggin' the sound of a backwoods choir
'Cause I'm a backwoods boy, I'm a backwoods boy
I'm a backwoods boy
It's so still I can hear the train from ten miles away

Waitin' on a deer, wishin' on a star, I'll always be true to my heart
You might end up being my supper if you get in the way of my gun
