    A Country Boy Can Survive~ need help please!
    jade says (15 Feb '12)

    these are the lyrics for "A Country Boy Can Survive" (from "Fire It Up", the EP).  near the end, at the 5:28 mark he lists a number of cities... it start with: "oh, I"m a north Romeo, east..." and then some others. I have no idea what he says for the rest of that line. 

    I put: ""oh I'm a north Romeo, east Armada, Hemley city, Kimpack kinda ramblin man" but I doubt any of that is right.  can anyone hear what he's saying?  I assume those of you from MI/Detroit might know better assuming those places are in MI!

     

    thanks!

I hear after Capac, "tryin kinda ramblin man. I think it refers to the Allman bros as well. Sorry, I didn't see this post earlier Jade.

lol I did the same thing, I went home and made my husband listen to it. in truth he has a much better ear than I do and catches way more of the samples and things than I do. He also thinks its...

"Oh, I'm a north Romeo, east Armada, Imlay City, Capac, tryin' ta, kinda ramblin' man..."

I'm going to to with that until someone can convince me otherwise. since this was a line that wasn't in the original, I wonder if it was kinda just ad-libbed in? it sorta sounds like he started saying one thing and changed to the other. or... he's trying to be a kinda sorta of ramblin man. like a long lost Allman brother... :-)

thanks again ladies!

No problem Jade, it's the least I can do...I appreciate your time & effort putting these out there for us all to hear & I love it! Thank you!
I can not hear what he's saying after Capac, I'll see if my husband can decipher what he says, I'll get back with ya later if he can hear it.

No problem Jade :-)
I can't tell what He says after "Capac"----it does sound like "Tryon" or "Triad" or "Tyler"----but none of those are Michigan towns to my knowledge---unless He's trying to say "Taylor" with a bad Southern accent----lmao :-)
Or maybe He's saying something else besides the name of a city there???

you rock, Margo! I did check the original version but this and handful of other lines are not in the original, these are ones KR must have added in himself.
and Capac and Imlay City sound good to me! I think Imlay City sounds like what he's saying... (and I would never ever have come up with that!)

I think there is a few words/cities I am still missing~
Oh, I'm a north Romeo, east [Amaida?], Imlay City, Capac, [Tryon?], kinda rambling man..."

so one last one, right after Capac?

Oh, I'm a north Romeo, east Armada, Imlay City, Capac, [Tryon?], kinda rambling man...

He definitely says "Imlay City"
And Armada is a Michigan town too :-)

Have you checked Hank Williams Jr's version of this song? I haven't yet, just wondered if it's the same lyrics?
The verse at the end it's not (Kimpack) it's (Capac) it's in Saint Claire County MI.
The other one (Hemley) I haven't heard of a town named that, maybe someone else has? I was thinking it could be Imlay City MI, I think that's in Lapeer County.
