Country In My Genes

Lyrics

Well, they say that I'm too country, the way I look and sound
 They wanna to make me over, just a little more uptown
 Say I need to change my image, now tell me what's that mean
 Don't they know I've got country in my genes?
 Well, I can't help the way I talk, I wouldn't change it if I could
 Sophisticated ain't my style, but country fits me good
 I ain't ashamed to wear what's been handed down to me
 Lord, I've got country in my genes
 I've got country in my genes, country in my blood
 It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of
 It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see
 I'm just an old hillybilly with a country song to sing
 Lord, I've got country in my genes
 ♪
 Oh, that Earl Scruggs
 If country's hit the big time, me, I'm still the same
 I ain't above my raisin' and I ain't about to change
 I wouldn't trade my Wranglers for the finest gaberdine
 Lord, I've got country in my genes
 I've got country in my genes, country in my blood
 It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of
 It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see
 I'm just an old hillybilly with a country song to sing
 Lord, I've got country in my genes
 I've got country in my genes, country in my blood
 It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of
 It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see
 I'm an old Kentucky hillybilly with a country song to sing
 Lord, I've got country in my genes
 Lord, I've got country in my genes
