From The Country by Mark_Edwards - Zona

Lyrics

[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
