Jimmy puts a Tonight Show spin on “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” as he parades through the streets of Austin with an epic crowd to the University of Texas. Full lyrics below:

JIMMY – VERSE 1
Well life here in Austin is kinda laid back
Got drunk on Dirty Sixth ‘fore I even unpacked
Let’s drink another beer before we head back
Thank God I’m a country boy

Well a Texas kinda life got a real kinda charm
Met a dude named Bevo on a longhorn farm
Bled burnt orange when he poked me in the arm
Thank God I’m a country boy

CHORUS
Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles
Suck down queso, get thick in the middle
Ate hot sauce till it came out my nipples
Thank God I’m a country boy

JIMMY – VERSE 2
When my work’s all done and I got a couple bucks
I grab a Bird scooter and I hit the food trucks
Top of my lungs screamin’ “O-U sucks!”
Thank God I’m a country boy

Got a giant belt buckle, boots made of leather
Hot-ass weather, I don’t need a sweater
The hats are all big here, and bigger is better
Thank God I’m a country boy

CHORUS
Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles
Drink a Lone Star, pass out by the griddle
Playin’ my guitar counts as workin’ out a little
Thank God I’m a country boy

[MARCHING BAND / SPIRIT ROUTINE] Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles
Drink a Lone Star, pass out by the griddle
Get my stomach pumped at the county hos-pital
Thank God I’m a country boy

JIMMY – VERSE 3
Now it’s time for the show, gotta pick up the pace
Got a roomful of Longhorns, I can’t make ‘em wait
So let’s hear it:

ALL
“Come early, be loud, stay late!”

JIMMY
Thank God I’m a country boy

JIMMY – VERSE 4
Well it’s time to start the show, gonna be a big night
Gotta party with a crowd
Full of lit Austinites
So when I say “Texas!”
You say…

CROWD
“Fight!”

JIMMY
Thank God I’m a country boy

TARIQ “BLACKTHOUGHT” TROTTER
The heart of the Southwest
Is deep like Texas
I went to South-by
And saw two of my exes
The Lone Star State
That you best not mess with
They’re barbecuing cowboy steaks for breakfast
Big Bossin’ in the land you could get lost in
I get love from STUBB’s
To the Limits of Austin
Even though I’m a city boy
I bring the Philly noise
Here comes an episode
Everybody will enjoy

CHORUS
Gimme brisket and ribs, a side of fried pickles
I’m a cowboy, now boy, little by little
So I raise up my hand in the Hook ‘em Horns symbol…
Thank God I’m a country boy.

JIMMY – VERSE 5 [SLOW/ACOUSTIC] Yeah, back in New York where the lights are all bright
Got city folks tellin’ me, “Hop the next flight.”
But I tell you what, Austin is…
[AS MCCONAUGHEY] alright alright alright.
Thank God I’m a country boy

Chris is living on the streets of Austin, Texas. Chris says he lived in over 35 boarding homes. I asked Chris what the difference is between foster homes and boarding homes. He said a foster home is more like a true family, and a boarding home is just a place to stay.

It’s not uncommon to meet homeless youth that has been placed in a high number of foster homes or boarding homes. How can any child grow up normal when they are being tossed around the system like that?!!

Chris says there are a lot of jobs and opportunities for people experiencing homelessness. Often people on the streets do not see homelessness as it really is. It’s a defense mechanism helping to reduce some of the pain of being homeless.

Chris’s third wish: “get a family who will love me”!

About Invisible People:

Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.

Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath – its founder – and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.

Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.

In this episode of Streets by Vice, we explore Austin’s rich and rather strange cultural history through the lens of one of its most iconic thoroughfares: 6th street. Sixth is significant in many ways; it was the breeding ground for its now renowned music scene, which when talking to experts across the city is at the core of virtually every other industry in Austin and inextricable from the city's identity. 6th street also spans east to west across the city, the urban planning for which has major implications on the city’s diverse demography. Finally, where sixth street runs through downtown, it sits adjacent to its tech epicenter which is currently booming on a national scale.

If Austin has always had one foot firmly planted in music, the other has most certainly been in tech—since the 1950s Austin has been a notable location for the industry. The University of Texas at Austin has consistently pumped students through its engineering and computer science programs, and as a result it sits firmly at the forefront of the tech space. In contrast to a city like San Francisco, however, the money and development that has come along with the tech boom has not diminished its alternative, creative identity. Over past decades, the two worlds have managed to thrive alongside each other, often with intriguing overlap. And while the whitewashing and gentrification many Austinites take issue with may be true, what we are seeing now is an Austin that more than anything is simply growing up.
