Per Taste of Country, “Come Back as a Country Boy” is a song that “extolls the virtues of living in the country lifestyle.” It includes the bold line, “If his neck don’t come out red / Then, Lord, just keep him dead.” The single is about being proud of being a country boy. As fans know, Blake Shelton hasn’t forgotten about his Oklahoma roots.
“‘Come Back as a Country Boy” is a 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,” Blake Shelton shared in an interview. “We have so much pride in who we are and what we do.”
