Country Thang

Shotgun shack on the edge of town

It's where I'll be when the sun goes down

Big money, bird dog barkin' out back

Wouldn't trade him in for a Cadillac

County wanna pave my old dirt road

Went to the courthouse, said "Hell no"

It's a country thang, it's a fish on a string

Mary Jane chompin' on a chicken wing

It's a tire swing on a riverbank

It's the way we talk, it's the way we sing

It's either in your blood or it ain't

It's a country thang

Known my girl since she was fourteen

She's the first runner up to the Hard Candy Cotton Queen

She was raised on cornbread, purple hull peas

She turns 'em heads at the feed 'n seed

She rides in the middle of my four-wheel drive

Got a honey hole way back in the pines

It's a country thang, it's some cutoff jeans

Paintin' her toes on a porch swing

Sweet like sugar cane, come a good rain

Make a little love while the tin roof sings

It's either in your blood or it ain't

It's a country thang

It's a country thang, barefoot and crazy

Fried green tomatoes and sawmill gravy

Takin' pride in workin' hard for a livin'

Pray before meals, it feels good givin'

Back to the needy, greedy's not us

Thank God for it, even if it ain't much

That's how we does it down here in the mud

What else can I say, y'all, it's in my blood

It's either in your blood or it ain't

That's how we does it 'round here

It's either in your blood or it ain't

C'mon, y'all

It's a country thang

It's a country thang

It's a country thang

It's just a country thang
