The Blake Shelton Come Back As A Country Boy song was released in 2021 and makes it clear that Blake will come back as a country boy if ever reincarnated.
“Come Back as a Country Boy” is song, basically, about just having so much pride about being country and living the country lifestyle that, even if you come back to life, you wouldn’t do it unless you could be country again … If you can’t do it again — if you’re lucky enough to come back to life — you’d rather just stay dead.
Blake performed a live version of this song for the 2021 CMA Awards show. Check out the live version versus the official music video and see which version you like best below.

“This video is an adventure,” Shelton shares. “But at the end of the day it’s just me, my dog and my truck… and, of course, a beer. It’s me being a country boy in my favorite place on Earth.”

Blake Shelton Come Back As A Country Boy Lyrics
When I die, I wanna come back as a country boy
No, there ain’t no better life if you ask me
If my neck don’t come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead
‘Cause a country boy’s all that I know how to be
My back is always breakin’, my dogs are always barkin’
My money has trouble makin’, and my truck has trouble startin’
I’m up before the sun, either haulin’ hay or huntin’
My work ain’t ever done but son, I wouldn’t trade it for nothin’
So when I die, I wanna come back as a country boy
No, there ain’t no better life if you ask me
If my neck don’t come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead
‘Cause a country boy is all that I know how to be
Yeah, if y’all ain’t in my drawl, and a fish ain’t on my wall
And the whiskey don’t burn goin’ down
My feet ain’t in a holler, and blue ain’t on my collar
Leave my Hank-crankin’, beer-drinkin’ ass in the ground
Yeah, when I die, I wanna come back as a country boy
No, there ain’t no better life if you ask me
If my neck don’t come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead
‘Cause a country boy’s all that I know how to be
When I die, I wanna come back as a country boy
Live on this land, like my old man did before me
I don’t wanna be born into money
Where the boots don’t ever get muddy
‘Cause a country boy’s all that I know how to be
When I die, I wanna come back as a country boy
No, there ain’t no better life if you ask me
If my neck don’t come out red, then Lord, just keep me dead
‘Cause a country boy is all that I know how to be
Yeah, a country boy is all that I know how to be
