I was born and raised on country music
The kind that grows inside your bones
I've been fried by spot lights and wine
Picking up and having some good time

Now that I've grown somewhat older
And all the good times have gone bad
And I've played it all from rock to soul
Country is the heart that beats in me

I believe in good old country music
Where everyone can clap and sing along
You can have the city lights and I'll take the moon
Bet 'cha that I'm happier than you

I believe in good old country music
Where everyone can clap and sing along
You can have the city lights and I'll take the moon
Bet 'cha that I'm happier than you

I can play a new screaming electric guita
Turn 'em up and play them solo songs
But just give me a big string flattop
And I'll sing and play for you all day long

Throw me in a good old country bass line
Add a little shuffle on them drums
Play for me some down home mean country leads
And we'll have ourselves one heck of a time
