You'Re Country

He looked at that boy with pain in his eyes and said I'm sick and tired of seeing all of these lies So you went away from home for a little while and came back here bumping a brand new style Looking at you now the answer's real clear You must've ended up somewhere north of here So I guess it's up to me to get you back to your roots gonna put your ass back in some cowboy boots Because you're country that's the way you were born You're country heading back through the corn It's a simple way of life around here where you work, sweat, and bleed and never shed a tear. If we don't do it, it won't be done not everything in life is about having fun I see you over there walking down the street spent a pretty penny showing off your feet By the way you're running you should've bought some cleats Trying to run out of here like your at a track meet You're a real big shot that what you think putting all your money in a federal bank But that ain’t the way we do it around here we burry our money in an empty jar of clear Because we're country that's the way we were born we're country heading back through the corn It's a simple way of life around here where we work sweat and bleed and never shed a tear we wake up early an go to bed late no we ain't got time to procastinate You come up to me and ask my advice I look down at you and I don't think twice Boy you need to slow down and catch your breath you got us all worried and scared to death we all remember that fire in your eye and I don't believe that you've let it die Because you're country that'd the way you were born you're country heading back to the corn
