Now That's Country

Ridin' 20 miles on a midnight train

Just to go fishin' in the pourin' rain

Take along your baby, just 'cause you're in love

Fishin' and lovin', I can't get enough

Well, that's country, I was raised a country child

Now that's country, baby, that's my style

Got me a pick-up, I got a piece of nothin' farm

Shotgun and a hound dog, I got a tractor in the barn

Rockin' chair on my front porch and a jug of home-made wine

When I ain't makin' music, that's how I spend my time

That's country, I was born, yes, a country child

Now that's country, but baby, that's my style

You know every man and woman

Oughta have a place to lay their burdens down

You all can do it in that city

But it ain't the same in a big ol' town

Now me just talk to y'all one time

Have you ever laid in a field of clover late into the night?

An' watched a shooting star fall from heaven till the moon fades outta sight

Get up an' go visitin', that's just what neighbours do

I'm proud to be from the country

Now how about you?

Oh, that's country, I was raised on that Mississippi mile

Now that's country, baby, that's my style

Well, that's country, guess I was born a country child

Now that's country, and baby, that's my style
