Lyrics The Other Country Boy – Upchurch
See the silhouette underneath the streetlight glow
Leaned against a Caddie on a riverside road
Alone and lurkin’
A walk and purpose
Even though I’m lonely and the crickets keep me chirpin’
A lightnin’ bug sits with me on my shoulder
Remindin’ me of how I’ll shine when I’m older
But for now
I’m a floor full of ashes in a ’90 model car
A couple missin’ teeth from chewin’ ‘bacco too long
Fire with gas, my attitude’s no act
The trouble was my middle name, it will fit my eyes
In a world where the music scene is planned and paid for
I’m covered up, but not on a cover song
I’m the other country boy
Picture-perfect, I never learned it
What does that mean Who’s the judge and verdict
No one, they just think they are
My life’s sweet, give me a Mason jar
A few wooden planks some wouldn’t call a porch
Livin’ out anthems to be the torch
For the imperfect girls and the boys like I once was
Imperfect is perfect if you ask someone like us
I’m a floor full of ashes in a ’90 model car
A couple missin’ teeth from chewin’ ‘bacco too long
Fire with gas, my attitude’s no act
The trouble was my middle name, it will fit my eyes
In a world where the music scene is planned and paid for
I’m covered up, but not on a cover song
I’m the other country boy
The other country boy
I’ve gone head-to-head with the biggest names
Got golds and platinums on my wall in frames
Talk raw to the stars, they ain’t shootin’ a thing
No EQ to give me a ’round-here twang
Came natural, music city is my real birthplace
Tell the tourists if they’re wildin’ better pump them brakes
Or you’re gonna see a man that ain’t playin’ standin’ in a bar
He’s one of us and not some country star
He’s a floor full of ashes in a ’90 model car
A couple missin’ teeth from chewin’ ‘bacco too long
Fire with the gas, attitude no act
The trouble was his middle name, it will fit my eyes
In a world where the music scene is planned and paid for
He’s covered by us, but not on the cover song
He’s the other country boy
I’m the other country boy…
