[Verse 1]

Woke up 5 a.m, put on my camouflage, wiped off my .243 and fired up my dodge
Headed out to my old deerstand back in the pines-e
Gonna get me a 10 point buck with 11 inch tines, yeah
Settled in hidin from the wind waitin on the sun
You might end up bein’ my supper if you get in the way of my gun
It’s so still I can hear the train from ten miles away
If I’m here 8 hours from now it’ll be okay, yeah

‘Cause I’m a backwoods boy, grew up on a dirt road
I’m a backwoods boy no better place to go
Waitin’ on a deer wishin’ on a star, I’ll always be true to my heart
‘Cause I’m a backwoods boy, I’m a backwoods boy

[Verse 2]

Sittin’ on the bank of Lynches River with a little campfire
Sleepin’ on the ground, diggin’ the sound of a backwoods choir
Talkin to the man in the moon way up in the sky
He told me to let my worries roll on by, yeah

‘Cause I’m a backwoods boy, grew up on a dirt road
I’m a backwoods boy no better place to go
Waitin’ on a deer wishin’ on a star, I’ll always be true to my heart
‘Cause I’m a backwoods boy, I’m a backwoods boy

I’m a backwoods boy, I’m a backwoods boy, backwoods boy
