Description
A country-rock song, with just a hint of zydeco. The band has nicknamed this song "the Unofficial Theme Song of West Tee." It's about growing up in a rural area with not much more than the clothes on your back. A little bit of "river music."
Lyrics
Grew up as a river rat from West Terre Haute Had to walk the banks, cause couldn't afford a boat Made me a pole from a stick and some twine And if I catch a couple fish that would be mighty fine Maybe I'm a fool Sometimes I'm a gent Love my country But fear the government Should've been born rich But I guess I missed the boat Just a working class guy From west of Terre Haute
