Due West - Country Music Made A Man Out Of Me Lyrics

I grew up listen to the radio
Learned everything little thing I was ever gonna need to know
I learned about lovin’ before I ever got kissed
All about fightin’ before I ever made a fist
Got a lesson in leavin’ never packed a bag
Smokin’ and drinkin’, without a sip or a drag

Knew ‘bout cheatin’ when I’d never even broke a heart
I was king of the road, I never drove a car
Got stuck in prison but I never did time
Knew Jesus long before I saw the light…that’s right
I had a first class education that came absolutely free
Country music made a man out of me

I’m no stranger to the rain
I’m a ramblin’ man driving my life away
I’m so lonesome I could cry
Lord help me make it through the night
I was country when it wasn’t cool
Tougher than a boy named sue
Mama tried (mama tried)…can’t you see
Cause country music made a man out of me

Grandpa told me ‘bout the good old days
Ronnie told me about smoky mountain rain
I believed when Johnny said he walked the line
And dreamed about Deana and strawberry wine…that was fine
My teachers taught me well and it ain’t hard to see
Country music made a man out of me

I’m no stranger to the rain
I’m a ramblin’ man driving my life away
I’m so lonesome I could cry
Lord help me make it through the night
I was country when it wasn’t cool
Tougher than a boy named sue
Mama tried (mama tried)…can’t you see
Cause country music made a man out of me

I’m no stranger to the rain
I’m a ramblin’ man driving my life away
I’m so lonesome I could cry
Lord help me make it through the night
I was country when it wasn’t cool
Tougher than a boy named sue
Mama tried (mama tried)…can’t you see
Cause country music made a man out of me

This country boy will survive
40 hour week, workin’ 9 to 5
I’m still crazy but I act naturally
Country music made a man out of me
