[00:16.420] Left his home in Louisiana
[00:19.950] Headed for Nashville, Tennessee
[00:23.290] Where he plays in the bars and prays to the stars
[00:26.970] to find his melody
[00:30.170] He spends all those nights under the neon lights
[00:33.600] trying to chase a dream
[00:37.030] Where he tries to be heard singing someone else's words
[00:40.560] but theres more to him than what it seems
[00:43.780] See he's always been pretty good with a pen
[00:47.300] and he wears his heart on his sleeve
[00:50.680] So put him under the lights with a pic and a mic,
[00:54.560] and he'll make you believe...
[00:58.030] 'Cause he aint no cowboy
[01:00.950] No he don't try to play the part
[01:04.490] He's just a southern boy who likes making noise
[01:07.860] and he sings straight from his heart
[01:11.280] He was raised on the mud from the Mississippi floods
[01:14.760] yea he's usually a simple man
[01:18.340] But you'll know his name, he'll make you feel his pain
[01:21.460] with a six string in his hand
[01:28.500] He was always told he was chasing fools gold,
[01:31.780] "you'll never make it anyway"
[01:35.310] And even though he tried, the passion inside
[01:39.390] just wouldn't go away
[01:42.160] So I guess you can blame that rhythm in his veins
[01:45.680] it was too hard to ignore
[01:49.010] And he's known all along right where he belongs
[01:52.480] and he can't fight it anymore
[01:56.350] 'Cause he aint no cowboy
[01:59.380] No he don't try to play the part
[02:02.760] He's just a southern boy who likes making noise
[02:06.080] and he sings straight from his heart
[02:09.560] He was raised on the mud from the Mississippi floods
[02:12.930] yea he's usually a simple man
[02:16.660] But you'll know his name, he'll make you feel his pain
[02:19.740] with a six string in his hand
[02:23.270] No he ain't here to claim the money or the fame,
[02:26.740] yea he's got a much bigger goal
[02:30.170] To take his love and his hurt and pour it in a verse
[02:33.590] that you feel deep in your soul
[02:50.170] No he aint no cowboy,
[02:54.210] but he wont apologize
[02:57.580] for his jeans or his boots or his deep southern roots
[03:01.060] or the fire in his eyes
[03:04.480] Got that Mississippi Mud, running through his blood
[03:07.910] and he's never been ashamed
[03:11.280] And he ain't backing down,
[03:12.800] or leaving this town
[03:15.170] til they all know his name!
