Must Be The Country

Why do we all ride around in dirty old trucks?
Living like a lyric from hillbilly deluxe
Always in boots and jeans
Must be the country

Why do we get up before the first crack of dawn?
Put a pot of coffee and our rip tree on
Sit up in the stand and freeze
Must be the country

It must be the country
If you're from where we're from and it runs deep in you
Like a channel cat swimming
If you love your team winning
Friday nights and your women
Wild as your deuces
Your drawl in your music
Is twanging
Pretty shotgun singer
She's singing
You and your little town ain't changing at all
If it sounds like y'all
There's only one thing it could be
Must be the country

Why do we shake on it and then call it a deal?
Keep our words just like a scarecrow keeps 'em out of the field
Ah, it beats the hell out of me
Must be the country

How come we shed a tear to "Amazing Grace"?
Then raise all kind of hell and holler "Home of the brave!"
Who keeps this the land of the free?
You know it's the country

It must be the country
If you're from where we're from and it runs deep in you
Like a channel cat swimming
If you love your team winning
Friday nights and your women
Wild as your deuces
Your drawl in your music
Is twanging
Pretty shotgun singer
She's singing
You and your little town ain't changing at all
If it sounds like y'all
There's only one thing it could be
Must be the country

It must be the country
If you're from where we're from and it runs deep in you
Like a channel cat swimming
If you love your team winning
Friday nights and your women
Wild as your deuces
Your drawl in your music
Is twanging
Pretty shotgun singer
She's singing
You and your little town ain't changing at all
If it sounds like y'all
There's only one thing it could be
Must be the country

Yeah, it must be the country
Must be the country
Ain't no doubt about it
