[Verse 1]
Cat Diesel Power cap pulled down low
Making that bacon, row by row
Can't get them muscles at the YMCA
It's from chopping cotton, cutting corn and slinging that hay
Been heavy lifting since the crack of dawn
No doubt about it that boy's country strong

[Chorus]
He's up in the morning yawning with those work boots on
Working like hell 'til the dinner bell brings him back home
Blue collar in his blood, backwoods in his bones
No doubt about it that boy's country strong

[Verse 2]
He wears an old felt hat on his head
Got a saddle for a pillow, and the ground for a bed
Spurs on his heels, reins in his hands
Driving cattle, roping steers and burning his brand
There ain't no letting up all day long
No doubt about it that boy's country strong

[Chorus]
He's up in the morning yawning with those Tony Llama's on
Working like hell 'til the dinner bell brings him back home
Blue collar in his blood, backwoods in his bones
No doubt about it that boy's country strong

[Bridge]
Yea behind every good man, there's a woman
She's the one thing that keeps him going, keeps him going

[Chorus]
She's up in the morning yawning with that coffee pot on
Working like hell 'til the dinner bell brings him back home
Blue collar in her blood, backwoods in her bones
No doubt about it that girl's country strong

[Outro]
Cowboys, plowboys, good hearted women
They're all country strong
