VERSE

ON THE DAY I WAS BORN I LET OUT A REBEL CRY
MERLE HAGGARD RECORDS WERE MY FAVORITE LULLABIES
BEFORE I WALKED I TWO STEPPED ON MY MAMA’S KNEE
I’M “CORN- FED,” “ PURE- BRED,” “STANDIN’ TALL AS I CAN GET,” “RED WHITE AND TRUE COUNTRY” 

BRIDGE

I GREW UP A COUNTRY MILE DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD
MY DADDY’D DADDY’S DADDY WAS COUNTRY TO THE BONE
GREAT GRANDPA PLANTED BLUE GRASS ROUND THE FAMILY TREE
YOU CAN TAKE ME OUT OF THE COUNTRY BUT YOU CAN’T TAKE THE COUNTRY OUT OF ME

VERSE

MY KIND OF HEAVY METAL IS A PEDAL STEEL GUITAR
A VIOLIN TURNS IN TO A FIDDLE WHEN IT’S PLAYED FROM THE HEART
THE SONGS THAT ROCKED MY CRADLE AIN’T ON MTV
I’M “NO THANKS,” “GIMME HANK,” “YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE BANK,” “RED WHITE AND TRUE COUNTRY”
