Grady James - Born Again Country Lyrics

It was a smokey bar
A glass mason jar
Was sitting there in front of the stage
Manager man came out and said
"What you doing here dressed to play"
Said "I was with the band getting out of the van
Getting set up and shaking off the drive"
He said "If I put you on the stage in here boy
This crowd will eat you alive"
What he didn't know was
This wasn't our first time
I Started out no choices guns and horses
Born in a cowboys house
Every bit a leaving country singing
Troubadour man no doubt
When I left home that brick road
Led me to the dirty south
It was Skynyrd Zeppelin a stairway to heaven
And a highway to hell back down
I went up I went up
And I came tumbling down
I went up I went up
And came all the way back round
A little wiser older one step closer
Back to the man I am now
And I learned the cost cause if I'd never been lost
I may have never been found
Baptized in a river of southern rock royalty
And born again country
See I already sold my soul
See I already sold my soul
Manager man threw up his hands said
"You'll get only one chance to play
But if your band can't hack it man
Your ass is out and your on your way
So I tipped my hat as I was fine with that
Turned round and open my case
And took comfort in the fact that the miles I've tracked
Would get me through another day
I Started out no choices guns and horses
Born in a cowboys house
Every bit a leaving country singing
Troubadour man no doubt
When I left home that brick road
Led me to the dirty south
It was Skynyrd Zeppelin a stairway to heaven
And a highway to hell back down
I went up I went up
And I came tumbling down
I went up I went up
And came all the way back round
A little wiser older one step closer
Back to the man I am now
And I learned the cost cause if I'd never been lost
I may have never been found
Baptized in a river of southern rock royalty
And born again country
See I already sold my soul
See I already sold my soul
I Started out no choices guns and horses
Born in a cowboys house
Every bit a leaving country singing
Troubadour man no doubt
When I left home that brick road
Led me to the dirty south
It was Skynyrd Zeppelin a stairway to heaven
And a highway to hell back down
I went up I went up
And I came tumbling down
I went up I went up
And came all the way back round
A little wiser older one step closer
Back to the man I am now
And I learned the cost cause if I'd never been lost
I may have never been found
Baptized in a river of southern rock royalty
And born again country
See I already sold my soul
See I already sold my soul
