Hot sun goin' down,
Heatin' up this little town
The cows are fed and the plowin's all been done
Moonlight, fireflies,
Beer on the bank by the riverside
We're gonna have ourselves a little fun.

Dancin' on the tailgates
And raisin' a little cane
Rockin' in the pastures
And rollin' in the hay.

It's the life I love
And I'm gonna live it 'til they bury me
I can't get enough of
Dirt roads and dusty fields and the simple things
And I take pride
In everything I've got
'Cause I'm American-born
And Country by the grace of God.

I don't need no Cadillacs,
You can't put no hay bails on the back
It won't cross a creek
Or tow no heavy load
I don't like a high-rise
Cluttering up my clear blue skies
Don't wanna be where the city's all that grows.

Some are born with a silver spoon
And some come from the farm
Some have a ball in the mansion,
But we get down in the barn.

It's the life I love
And I'm gonna live it 'til they bury me
I can't get enough of
Dirt roads and dusty fields and the simple things
And I take pride
In everything I've got
'Cause I'm American-born
And Country by the grace of God.

We build a world of dreams
On a big ol' piece of land
We're free to do anything we like,
We're country so we can.

It's the life I love
And I'm gonna live it 'til they bury me
I can't get enough of
Dirt roads and dusty fields and the simple things
And I take pride
In everything I've got
'Cause I'm American-born
And country by the grace of God
