Why do we all ride around in dirty old trucks?
Livin' like a lyric from Hillbilly Deluxe
Always in boots and jeans
Must be the country
Why do we get up before the first crack of dawn?
Put a pot of coffee and our rip tree on
Sit up in the stand and freeze
Must be the country
It must be the country
If you're from where we're from
And it runs deep in you
Like a channel cat swimmin'
If you love your team winnin'
Friday nights and your women
Wild as your deuces
Your drawl in your music
Is twangin'
Pretty shotgun singer she's singin'
You and your little town ain't changin' at all
If it sounds like y'all there's only one thing it could be
Must be the country
Why do we shake on it and then call it a deal?
Keep our word just like a scarecrow keeps 'em out of the field
Ah it beats the hell out of me
Must be the country
How come we shed a tear to Amazing Grace?
Then raise all kinda hell and holler "Home of the Brave!"
Who keeps this the Land of the Free
You know it's the country
Yeah It must be the country
If you're from where we're from
And it runs deep in you
Like a channel cat swimmin'
If you love your team winnin'
Friday nights and your women
Wild as your deuces
Your drawl in your music
Is twangin'
Pretty shotgun singer she's singin'
You and your little town ain't changin' at all
If it sounds like y'all there's only one thing it could be
Must be the country
It must be the country
If you're from where we're from
And it runs deep in you
Like a channel cat swimmin'
If you love your team winnin'
Friday nights and your women
Wild as your deuces
Your drawl in your music
Is twangin'
Pretty shotgun singer she's singin'
You and your little town ain't changin' at all
If it sounds like y'all there's only one thing it could be
Must be the country
Yeah it must be the country
Must be the country
Ain't no doubt about it
