The song is written and originally played by Country guitar player Albert lee, look in lyric searches for country boy in his name.

Johnny Cash sang a song with the same title.

Unfortunately, it's not the right song. The chorus of song which I'm finding begins "Show me where I start......"

I'm still looking for it Jakub...I can't find the blasted book it's in. The chorus is:
Show me where I start
Buy a horse and cart
I'm just a country boy
Country boy at heart...

Finally! Here you go, Jakub, at long last!!!

COUNTRY BOY
(Albert Lee, Tony Colton, Ray Smith)

I may look like a city slicker
Shinin' up through the shoes
Underneath, I'm just a cotton picker
Pickin' out a mess of blues

Show me where I start
Find a horse and cart
I'm just a country boy
Country boy at heart

I may look like a bank teller
Pushin' facts in a file
But I'd rather be a hog-caller
Suuuuweeee! Good home style

Show me where I start
Find a horse and cart
I'm just a country boy
Country boy at heart

Repeat all lyrics
