Full lyrics below: JIMMY - VERSE 1 Well life here in Austin is kinda laid back Got drunk on Dirty Sixth ‘fore I even unpacked Let’s drink another beer before we head back Thank God I’m a country boy Well a Texas kinda life got a real kinda charm Met a dude named Bevo on a longhorn farm Bled burnt orange when he poked me in the arm Thank God I’m a country boy CHORUS Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles Suck down queso, get thick in the middle Ate hot sauce till it came out my nipples Thank God I’m a country boy JIMMY - VERSE 2 When my work’s all done and I got a couple bucks I grab a Bird scooter and I hit the food trucks Top of my lungs screamin’ “O-U sucks!” Thank God I’m a country boy Got a giant belt buckle, boots made of leather Hot-ass weather, I don’t need a sweater The hats are all big here, and bigger is better Thank God I’m a country boy CHORUS Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles Drink a Lone Star, pass out by the griddle Playin’ my guitar counts as workin’ out a little Thank God I’m a country boy [MARCHING BAND / SPIRIT ROUTINE] Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles Drink a Lone Star, pass out by the griddle Get my stomach pumped at the county hos-pital Thank God I’m a country boy JIMMY - VERSE 3 Now it’s time for the show, gotta pick up the pace Got a roomful of Longhorns, I can’t make ‘em wait So let’s hear it: ALL “Come early, be loud, stay late!” JIMMY Thank God I’m a country boy JIMMY - VERSE 4 Well it’s time to start the show, gonna be a big night Gotta party with a crowd Full of lit Austinites So when I say “Texas!” You say… CROWD “Fight!” JIMMY Thank God I’m a country boy TARIQ “BLACKTHOUGHT“ TROTTER The heart of the Southwest Is deep like Texas I went to South-by And saw two of my exes The Lone Star State That you best not mess with They’re barbecuing cowboy steaks for breakfast Big Bossin’ in the land you could get lost in I get love from STUBB’s To the Limits of Austin Even though I’m a city boy I bring the Philly noise Here comes an episode Everybody will enjoy CHORUS Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles I’m a cowboy, now boy, little by little So I raise up my hand in the Hook ‘em Horns symbol… Thank God I’m a country boy.
