Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I grew up where the trucks left dust Red clay on my Sunday cuffs Mama said "Boy That town ain't you" But this town stuck like my first tattoo You can dress me up in all black jeans Move me downtown Swap fields for screens I still tap the dash on an old dirt song Still roll my eyes but I sing along [Chorus] You can take the boots off my feet Change my radio Change my street Paint my sky in silver and concrete But you can't take the country out of me You can swap my drawl for a city beat New barstools New crowd Same old seat I might look brand new on the outside Baby But you can't take the country out of me (oh no) [Verse 2] I learned to parallel park last year Still back in like a trailer out of habit Dear I say I'm fine with the crowded nights But I miss porch swings and bug-bit lights Got a suit now Hangs just right Still toss hay in my sleep at night You hear that twang when I get too tired It slips right out like a brushfire [Chorus] You can take the boots off my feet Change my radio Change my street Paint my sky in silver and concrete But you can't take the country out of me You can swap my drawl for a city beat New barstools New crowd Same old seat I might look brand new on the outside Baby But you can't take the country out of me (yeah, yeah) [Bridge] I tried to run from that gravel road Thought I had to shake that old zip code But it's stitched in my name In my family tree Every mile I go It rides with me (rides with me) [Chorus] You can take the boots off my feet Change my radio Change my street Paint my sky in silver and concrete But you can't take the country out of me You can swap my drawl for a city beat New barstools New crowd Same old seat I might fade into this skyline Baby But you can't take the country out of me (out of me) You can't take the country out of me (oh no)
