"Country Boy" is a song written by Tony Colton, Albert Lee, and Ray Smith of the British band Heads Hands & Feet, and recorded by American country music artist Ricky Skaggs.

It was released in February 1985 as the second single and title track from the album Country Boy.

He leads Uncle Pen through New York City's streets, sights, and subways and shows through song and dance that he's still a "country boy at heart".

The video includes cameos by Ed Koch, the then-incumbent Mayor of New York City, as a cabdriver, dancer Charlotte d'Amboise, plus actor David Keith who comes in at the end of the video looking for Ricky.
