There ain't nothin' better than the boys from back home
I turned 18 and ran off and left everything I had ever known
Tryin to find a better life, chasin' crazy dreams
But no matter where I go it'll never be the same as the boys from back home

Drinkin' beer and the muddy brown water
Talkin' bout who's mom's hotter and
Paddlin' down the Ninnescah River
Pushin' each other in
Goin' out to the south bridge
Just a bunch of us country kids
Tryin' to get the freshman girls to flash a little bit of skin
Me and the boys from back home

There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Then with a bunch of yall rednecks just like me
Always be proud of where I come from
Know who to call when I'm down to drink somethin'
Boys from back home

Countin' down to graduation
Seemed like it'd take forever
Little did we know
It'd be the last time we'd all be together
Hats off to the man over seas
Fightin' battles for you and me
Lord knows that he'll always be one of the boys from back home

There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Then with a bunch of yall rednecks just like me
Always be proud of where I come from
Know who to call when I'm down to drink somethin'
We all know how to make each other smile
Talkin' bout the good old days is
Always worth our while yeah yeah

So if your with the boys from back home
Raise a glass, take a drink
Be proud of where yall come from
No there ain't nothing better than the boys
From back home
