[Intro | Cold Open | No Adlibs | No Lead-in | No Repetition | Immediate First Line Only]
[Verse]
I come from where the paved roads end
Off the beaten path and back in the sticks
I’m what the city folks would like to call
A dumb redneck, a hillbilly or hick
[Verse]
But I work so hard every day
I’m not afraid to get dirt on my hands
Sometimes I bleed and I always sweat
I’m not a 3 piece suit business man
[Chorus]
I’m from the country and that makes me proud
I’m more down to earth than the fields that I’ve plowed
If you ever need help just give me a call
I’ll be there when your back is against the wall
I have a hound dog and an old pickup truck
That I drive around in the mud and the muck
On Sunday you’ll find me praising the Lord
And I’ll never buy what I can’t afford
I love where I’m from and I’ll say it out loud
I’m from the country and that makes me proud
[Verse]
I like to enjoy the simple things
And I live my life at a slower pace
I’d rather sit and watch the sun go down
Than be eaten alive in the rat race
[Verse]
If I can’t earn it then I don’t want it
I’ve never been looking for a hand out
And I’ll be fine when the shit hits the fan
Cause I’m always prepared like a Boy Scout
[Chorus]
I’m from the country and that makes me proud
I’m more down to earth than the fields that I’ve plowed
If you ever need help just give me a call
I’ll be there when your back is against the wall
I have a hound dog and an old pickup truck
That I drive around in the mud and the muck
On Sunday you’ll find me praising the Lord
And I’ll never buy what I can’t afford
I love where I’m from and I’ll say it out loud
I’m from the country and that makes me proud
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I stand for the flag and I kneel at the cross
I love my freedom and know what it cost
God, guns and guts is what made this land great
And if you don’t agree then I’ll set you straight
[Final Chorus]
I’m from the country and that makes me proud
I’m more down to earth than the fields that I’ve plowed
If you ever need help just give me a call
I’ll be there when your back is against the wall
I have a hound dog and an old pickup truck
That I drive around in the mud and the muck
On Sunday you’ll find me praising the Lord
And I’ll never buy what I can’t afford
I love where I’m from and I’ll say it out loud
I’m from the country and that makes me proud
