Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well they say that I'm too country
The way I look and sound
They wanna make me over
Just a little more uptown
Say I need to change my image
Now tell me what that means
Don't they know I've got country in my genes
[Verse 2]
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
And I ain't ashamed for wearing
What's been handed down to em
Oh, Lord, I got country in my genes
[Verse 3]
I 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 a old hillbilly with a bluegrass song to sing
Oh, Lord, I got country in my genes
[Verse 4]
Now, if country's hit the big time
Me, I'm still the same
And I ain't above my raising
And I ain't about to change
And I wouldn't trade my Wranglers
For the finest gaberdine
Oh, Lord, I got country in my genes
[Verse 5]
I 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 a old hillbilly with a bluegrass song to sing
Oh, Lord, I got country in my genes
Oh, Lord, I got country in my genes
