None of them
This song is actually a true story of Ray and a doubting redneck.
The intro chords: Am7-G-D The Am7 is on the 1 (obviously)and the G on 3
and the D comes in slightly early on the
"and" before the next 1. (Upstroke)
Repeat twice before the verse entrance.

the verses are sung in a talking style like Johnny Cash "boy named Sue".
Am7 G D
verse: There's a lotta small towns in this world,
Am7 G D
Just like the one that I came from.
Am7 G D
Where any dream you have is just a dream.
Am7 G D
It ain't nothin' that could truly be done.
Am7 G D
Well I'm gon' tell y'all a little story
Am7 G D
'Bout the day I set out to leave.
Am7 G D
As I was loadin' up and sayin' my goodbyes
Am7 G D
some redneck einstein said to me
Am7 G D
"Well I see ya' packed up your suitcase,
Am7 G D
And I seen ya' throw it in the truck.
Am7 G D
Headin' off to the big town are ya?
Am7 G D
Hmmph! Well son I wish ya' luck.
Am7 G D
Now I don't mean to bust your bubble...
Am7 G D
But boy, the way your thinkins' wrong.
Am7 G D
Go on out and chase that foolish dream of yours. Heh!
Am7 G D
You'll be back before too long.
Chorus:(changes a little more to singing style)
Am7 G D
'Cause you a plowboy! You ain't no city boy!
Am7 G D
Wo you were born with dirty hands
Am7 G D
Yeah you a plowboy and your thinkin' silly boy!
Am7 G D
Just tryin' to make you understand.
Am7 G D
Verse 2: What you better do is put them overalls back on.
Am7 G D
Go on out and fix that ol' barn door.
Am7 G D
Keep your far fetched fantasies to yo'self
Am7 G D
And fetch a load of feed down at the country store.
Am7 G D
Better yet, go on! Have at it.
Am7 G D
Go see how high you can fly.
Am7 G D
But you best be back when that green leaf comes in, boy!
Am7 G D
We gonna need your help come July!
Repeat chorus and then play chorus chords 4 times without words and at the end of the
measure play an E or E7 instead of D.
Am7 G D
Verse 3: Well here I am a few years later.
Am7 G D
Sure come a long way from that old farm.
Am7 G D
I got stocks and bonds and a house with a cement pond
Am7 G D
Got a genuine rolex on my arm
Am7 G D
Well I'd like to ask him what the taste of crow is like.
Am7 G D
See him face the fact that he was wrong.
Am7 G D
You see, I always knew where I was headed
Am7 G D
But I never forgot where I was from... Yeeeeah..
Am7 G D
Chorus 2: I'm a plowboy. I ain't no city boy
Am7 G D
Whoa I was born with dirty hands.
Am7 G D
Look at me now, boy! Sho' is a pretty boy!
Am7 G D
I could'nt make ya' understand
Am7 G D
Go milk that cow boy! And that wood needs splittin' boy
Am7 G D
And ya' best get back to bailin' hay!
Am7 G D
Yeah I'm a plowboy but now look whos' silly boy!
Am7 G D
From now on be careful what you say... ya' hear?
