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 Hart County 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
