Taking the boy out of the country

It's true, you can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy. I have to admit, I still get excited when I see camo, cowboy boots, open fields, and pick up trucks. I honestly think it's just born in some people. I have a good friend from New Jersey, he was born and raised there but he is country at heart. He came out West to go to school and the country stuck in him. He fell in love with open spaces, guns, the outdoors and just getting things done country style. He now lives in Virginia and has 3 acres and lives a total country life. He's an engineer by day but a country boy by night.

I'm the opposite, I grew up in the country, I ran around with a .22 and barefoot shooting rabbits skunks and all kinds of birds from the time I was 10. I now live in Salt Lake City. I drive around on freeways, I'm surrounded by a couple of million people and talk investment banking all day... but I can't get it out of my system, every time I get away from the country and see the sleepy fields, cows grazing, farmers fixing fences... I just can't wait to get back there. Yep, they took the boy out of the country but they'll never take the country out of the boy.
